SPINNING PROJECTS
I finished up the batts I posted a picture of last Wednesday - those will be unveiled on Friday. I dove back into the batts bin and selected 4 oz of BFL wool with sparkles blended in from Funky Carolina, in the "Pinko" colorway.
These two batts, while sold as a set, aren't actually matchy-matchy. One has a lot more dark pink in it (the batt on the left) and one has more gray in it (the batt on the right). Since each of the batts is 2 oz, I'm going to spin them individually and then ply them together, which I think will work nicely to blend the slightly differing colors.
KNITTING PROJECTS
- Still plugging along with the Vitamin D Cardi. I did finish the fourth of the 5 increase sections to be done. I will pick away at this more this week but I have another knitting project that I need to concentrate on, assuming the yarn arrives for it this week.
- Froggie: Another set of foot/leg done and attached. Might switch it up a bit and tackle the eyeballs this week. :)
DESIGN PROJECTS
- I focused a lot this week on my Shakespeare socks and actually got these knitted up to the heel turn. I'm going to forge along on these this week.
- A new Sekret Knitting Project that's on a bit of a deadline (actually due before the Shakespeare project, which is for April 1st). Whenever my yarn arrives for that, I need to get cracking on it, but I'm going to try to alternate between these two projects so I can get both samples knit up.
All for now...
Pretty pink batts! I'm still not too excited about spinning, but I picked up a spindle the other day and had fun with it. I may try to do a small project on a spindle. We'll see what happens.

The pink is really pretty. Any thoughts on what you might do with it?

After spinning up three Jacob fleeces, I love all of your color!
