I love yarn
I have finally finished up spinning this stuff. It's been at least a year and a half when I got the roving (at Rhinebeck) I don't know what the total yardage is. It should be approx. 600 yards. It was 8 oz of fiber.
I am still working on my elf socks. I am still on the leg of the second one. I dunno if it will be done by the weekend.
I have been doing a little organizing over on my flickr account. I have taken photo's from the blog and set up a finished project gallery. It's kinda neat to see what I did for one year - through the years. There are definate phases that I go through. Like making a bunch of socks or calorimetries or mittens and hats. I am slowly adding stuff to ravelry to get myself organized over there too.
I see that I have 4 unfinished shawls going. We need to do something about that. I also need to start a bigger project than all these small things... I want something I can sink my teeth into. Like a sweater! I always seem to make them during the summer. Cookoo that I am.
Next week I am going to do a couple of book reviews for you. I picked up 2 new books for my birthday and I think I should do reviews on both. Just so you know, I PAID for both of these books. FULL PRICE too. I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver. That's how good they are.
Have a great weekend!

GORGEOUS!! What are you going to do with it?
My Kiwi's all set (pics on my blog). Is it crazy that I want to drive down to Ithaca tomorrow and buy fiber? Are you knitting at FOE tomorrow?

You have me beat by 2 unfinished shawls then. I have two, both at about the 50% level of doneness. ANd planing a few more for some lace yarn I got for Mother's Day.
Your new spun stuff? Uber-Yum!
