SPINNING PROJECTS:
Believe it or not, I finished plying the singles that have been languishing for a couple of weeks now! Look for a spiffy Spinning Friday post on those on... uh... Friday.
I currently (gasp!) don't have anything on the wheels right now. Still working on an insane amount of dyeing for the Texas store, and in the bits and pieces of free time that I do have right now, I've gotten bitten by the sewing bug, and I have a few things to show you there, but I think my spinning is going to take a break for a bit. The insane August heat isn't helping my spinning mojo either, to be honest!
DESIGNING/KNITTING PROJECTS:
I finished up my Whosian Scarf! That's off the needles, all the ends woven in and it's ready for photos. The battery issue my little camera had apparently isn't really the battery but rather the camera itself, so until I get a replacement for that (hopefully next week), I don't have a much in the way of pictures to share.
I finished the first half of the body of the final fall collection sweater. I went ahead and blocked it, to double-check my numbers and those look in good shape, so I've cast on for the other half as of last night. My plan for this week is to get the waist ribbing done and get at least the first full chart repeat completed, which should put me at about 5" or so up the body. I haven't knit a men's-sized sweater in so long, I forgot how much knitting is involved in that!
Otherwise, I have some swatches I'm working on, but I've been flipping thru my idea notebooks and trying to decide what will be next on the needles. I'm thinking maybe of a small shawl for the fall, something fairly simple, but with some lace, so I'm also planning to spend some time with my stitch dictionaries this weekend while D is on travel and see what sparks my imagination for that!
All for now.....
Sorry about your camera!
