Finished my latest Tunisian crochet caper, handwarmers.
Just a rectangle, suggested by Fearless Knitting Group Leader, Meg, cast-on measured against my hand, length likewise, openings for thumbs decided as I stitched.
Mainly using up yarn. The red stripes are from Shepherd Susie, hand dyed, the yellow ones largely my handspun, the mixed colors knitpicks gradient.
I spun some roving in colors like the ones I was using, and added it in right off the spindle. It seems to have worked okay.

The future crowds in on the current work
So, looking for a new project, at the knitting group, and Fearless Leader Meg suggested handwarmers, because I had a small amount of yarn, and a need to do more Tunisian crochet.
Started already, and was looking around for more yarn, found some handspun, then some roving in the same color family.
I've been wanting to spin a bit, so it seems to have inserted itself into the present.
Top of the pic, lying on the yarn is the started handwarmer. Foreground is the roving and a spindle ready for action.
No pattern, just rectangles with thumb places left open when I do the finishing.
I'm also wanting to weave. But that has to take its turn.
