Let me sum up...

Obviously I choose living over blogging for all of last month, but now I’m back in Zambia and can’t go to Starbucks, stream Netflix, or hang out with my friends or siblings, so, I’m back!

First of all for anyone worried, I finished my Stash Dash 2018 goal of 3,000 meters! First, all the projects I cast off at the beginning of May,

Then all the things I finished during term 2 and while I was home-

Among the things I accomplished while I was home was three skiens of lumpy green handspun that I named Jurrasic Yarn because I was in a dinosaur mood. I need to work on better consistency, and I put a bit much twist into this at times, but it will make a cozy cowl or hat.

I plied it on my drop spindle which worked much better than fighting my wheel. Now I need to attempt a true three ply… I need to figure out what kind of wheel I want to save up for so I can get the corresponding Lazy Kate.

I made Mercy three dishcloths and didn’t get a picture of a finished one.

I finished the Nurmilintu scarf/shawlette I made using the cotton-alpaca blend a friend brought me from her trip to the Orkneys. I also failed to take a picture of the whole finished and blocked item.

I got two Hufflepuff stockings done, one to fill out my house stocking set, and one as a gift to the friend who made my wand. Cuteness!

And, in my biggest fail, I have no good pictures of my amazing Trondra hat in which I made a HUGE colorwork breakthrough. So, I plan to write a post talking about said breakthrough, but even though I am well in to the lining color, I have no good pictures of the lovely right side of my project.

Lastly, I am heading down the foot of my second travel knitting sock. I've shelved that project again for now, because now that I'm back at Sakeji I have a new project I need to tackle, a hat, a baby blanket, a few other small projects to finish. So, that pretty much sums up my summer crafting.
