I’m back
…though I don’t think I ever really left. I went to SOAR, got really sick (swine flu possibly) at SOAR, and then fell off the face of the earth with this and my other blog it seems. I had been putting off and putting off updating despite the fact that I get weekly backup emailed to me as a looming reminder.
Currently that is being knit into socks. It’s a bablydoll southdown/silk blend that I blended on my drum carder. I spun up the singles woolen then did a 2×2 cable ply. It ended up being 14 wpi.
This is my big project – above is 1.5 lbs of cvm merino cross/silk batts. My goal is to spin it up for a sweater and knit it during the Olympics for the RavOlympics. I’m going to knit Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Seamless Saddle Shoulder Sweater, though I’ll probably end up putting a 1/4 length zipper in it and possibly add some sort of collar. Right now I’m just barely started with the spinning (though I have sampled) but I’ve set myself a deadline for a month and a half from now (when the Olympics start) to have the yarn spun so, if my motivation says up, I should get it done.
Good to see you back. Glad you’re feeling better!
