Delayed


I was off track last week so I decided to not post because of the Holiday and having guests. But having taken a break, it is hard to get back into the groove. I am posting a few days late this week, but hope to be back on track this Thursday.

WIPs
  1. I did not touched the Hermione Socks, but am still counting it as a WIP because I carry it with me at all times.
  2. I am actually nearly done with binding off the Daybreak! I hope to be blocking it today.
  3. I tried to start another preemie hat, but my son took the needle off when I only had started the first row. I will have to re-cast it on.
UFOs
  1. I added the Mable Socks and the Angry Bird to the UFO list. This is unfortunate because the UFO list has now grown again.
Purchases
  1. I actually purchased a learn to spindle kit from Highland Handmades. I love it. The fiber is in the Peacock colorway and is lovely.
  2. I purchased the Camp Loopy project 2 yarn. I chose Mountain Colors Crazyfoot in Evergreen. I hope it is not too variegated.
  3. I purchased a skein of Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in the Estuary color. This reminds me of the Peacock color fiber.Link
Spinning
  1. I spun and plied my first ounce of fiber the day that I received the kit. It is very loose and looks like it will fall apart. The 1oz only became 16 ounces of fiber. What do you do with that. Anyway I am spinning the rest of the fiber and am wondering if I should leave it is a single ply.
Queued
  1. I decided to try something completely new for Camp Loopy project #2. With as much trouble as I had with project #1, I am surprised that I am doing this. But, when I saw the Knotty Gloves, I new that I wanted hand knitted gloves. I just never thought there would come a time that I wanted to try making gloves.
Podcast Notes
  1. I won the Beginner's SAL on the Rainlover's Ravelry board for the month of June! I picked out a lovely braid of fiber. I can't wait to spin it up, but I need to finish my first 4oz braid.
Healthy Steps
  1. I joined WW and I started walking. The walking has been working this time because of the help of a website called Habit Forge. I really recommend it.
