How The West Was Spun: WIP Wednesday: July 25, 2012

The bad news this week is that I've become the world's most boring blogger! The good news is that I've been up to my eyeballs dyeing, dyeing, dyeing for a big new wholesale client. (Psst... if you are in the Fort Worth/Dallas area, please take a tour up to Denton and visit The Woolie Ewe, which is now under new ownership and carrying a truckload of my yarns. I think Andy's got about 300 skeins right now and I'm working on more!). But at least y'all will know why I've been so quiet. And why I have very little to show for my world this week.

Spinning Projects:

Nada. The big donut. I have done nothing with my singles in the last week. I AM having a "me" day this weekend, however, so I will get some spinning time in. My hope is enough time to actually ply up the 4 oz of singles I've got waiting for me.

Knitting/Designing Projects:

I did finish up the first sleeve in the second sweater for the fall collection. That's been blocked and I cast on for the front. I think the sleeve will be okay now that it's blocked. The design has a fair amount of ribbing, so it looked pretty small coming off the needles, but it did block out to the right measurements, so hopefully that will be good as it stands and I won't wind up frogging an entire sleeve. D gets to be the guinea pig to try it on once I get the underarm sleeve sewn up.

I've also been working along on the Whosian Scarf. That's maybe a quarter finished - it's a long one - but I'm chipping away at it when I'm too tired to work on cables on the big sweater project.

I'll keep both of these in the rotation for this week and we'll see how I do. I'd like to at least get to about the halfway mark on the sweater front, but that'll be close. Stay tuned....

All for now....
