SPINNING PROJECTS:
Finished up the Funky Carolina batts, and I'm moving on to the February 12 lbs in 2012 challenge. The goal for the February challenge is to spin up at least 8 oz of something - enough for a garment. I'm tackling what I think will wind up being an ongoing project this year to spin up enough 3-ply worsted weight of a pretty charcoal-gray CVM fleece I purchased at Taos S&W in 2010 and was processed for me by Stonehedge Fiber Mill.
No specific goal for this, although I have started the first 2 ounces, and would love to get those singles spun.
KNITTING PROJECTS
I have gotten the Vitamin D cardi to the point I'm ready to put the sleeve stitches on holders and start the body. I'm hoping to at least get a few rows done of that this week, chipping away at this bit by bit.
I also finished up another foot for the froggie. I'm going to try to get the final foot finished up this week.
DESIGN PROJECTS
I finished up the SIL sample socks. Those are ready to go and the pattern is off at the test knitter.
I am still waiting on yarn for the project I've got a deadline of February 21st for. If... no WHEN.... that yarn arrives this week, that project is going on the needles as top priority to get finished ASAP, so it may be quiet regarding every other project, when I can get going on that.
But until that yarn arrives, I started a pair of slightly slouchy gansey-patterned mitts out of Terry's Snowshow Farm sock yarn.
I'm thinking some other accompanying accessory to go with these. What do y'all think? A coordinating hat? A cowl? A scarf? Something else?
All for now......
Gorgeous CVM you have there! Funny how we both are suckers for charcoal gray fleeces.
I think a hat or cowl would make a great accompanying accessory for your gansey mitts. Pretty pattern and yarn.

You are spinning and knitting up a storm! Everything is so beautiful in color and pattern.

I think a hat would be lovely along side your mitts. But, I do love hats!
How are you and D holding up?

A hat. My ears have been cold this morning.
I know you will always have Bhen, but have you made any further decisions about the the other two guys? I don't want Bhen to be lonely. :/

You are much busier than I this week!
