In which I PWN Stash Dash!

As of yesterday, I stand at a beautiful 3,577 meters of knit/spun yarn, thus making my 3K goal over a week before the deadline! I now only have 5 true active projects on the go, and hope to finish a sock and a hat before August 20th. So I guess I'll be forced to cast on some new items; it's a hard knitting life...

I don't have a good picture of my Tintern Abbey sock, but it was my companion on the trip I took to town. It joined me for a 3 night Firefly marathon, and I'm now working on the decorative part of the leg. Loving this yarn--so lovely!

When I got back from Kitwe, I knocked out a largish drop spindle spinning project that has sat on the back burner for about a year--the lovely Mountain Colors roving in the Indian Corn colorway. So pretty! I can't wait to knit with the finished yarn!

Also yesterday I finished the last of the four squares I lacked for my Vivid blanket. Next time I'm Stateside I'll need to sew them together (ugh!), but for Stash Dash purposes, it's FINISHED! I washed and blocked those four squares as well as Magrathea this afternoon.

So, that's what I've been up to when I wasn't doing some extreme shopping or driving! I hope to have another FO for next week, but we'll have to see how things go. There are so many projects I'd like to get done this holiday...

Parting shot: I feel like a real, live adult, because I bought my first 1/2 gallon of fresh milk. It's those little milestones...
