I love having time to knit and spin...

So, lots of fibery thing have been going on these last two weeks. I’m not going to post a picture of the blue cardigan again until I’ve got past the arm holes, but I have been working on it while working through the Dimensions Church History II course. Lots of fine gauge knitting which will make an excellent, wearable cardigan, but not terribly exciting.

More exciting is my progress on my Vivid blanket! I don’t have enough yarn to finish it, but I have sure been powering through some odds and ends! Here are all the blocks so far; I’m liking all of them but the blue-brown one at the bottom left. I might not end up using that one…

I’ve also been really enjoying the Stitch Surfer Socks. I’m actually re-knitting a sock that was a fail many years ago; it was my first toe up, and I couldn’t get the bind off stretchy enough. So, I’m putting it to much better use. While I was at it, I worked in my forethought gusset that I wrote about in a previous post. Now I want a pair for myself…

Another goal I had for myself this holiday was to finish the current chart on my Names of the Doctor Scarf, and I did! I am so in love with double knitting…

While listening to my History of Ancient Egypt Great Course, I’ve been doing more Whovian knitting in the form of my Weeping Angel socks. I’m actually chugging down the foot now, and I’m quite pleased with how my adding one last feather repeat to the heel turn went. It’s the little things in life…

After a several month hiatus, I’ve also started spinning my Mountain Colors roving again, and I’m really enjoying it. I divided the roving into the three color repeats and an end; here is the end all spun up. I’m continuing with my plying on the fly—very satisfactory. I think my yarn might be getting more even too…

Lastly, two finished break projects, the Sprig cloche,

and my Pincha scarf (it’s not really a shawl or even a shawlette).

So, that’s what I’ve been working on! Various special and mundane cleaning projects have also been in the works, and today I sorted out the cleaning supplies for the coming term. Holiday is almost over…and I have a lot to do this week. Bring it on!
