Okay so I fibbed a little....
I didn't finish my sock this weekend.
I am thisclose too. I bet I finish them tonight.
So why didn't I finish them?
I did some yard work with the boys this weekend and to unwind after it I thought why not sit in the back yard and spin up some lovely Finn? Next thing I knew I had yarn. Funny how that works.
This is the yarn I will be making something special for a guild member. We get 4 oz of yarn or spinnable fiber. I went for the fiber. I still have to dye it. I don't know why I didn't wait to dye the roving.... I have approx. 212 yards of fingering/dk weight yarn.
Now what color to dye it and what to make with it......
Oh and I stumbled upon this today. Why am I so NOT in the inside loop! WOW! What great patterns!

The socks are great - might have to go in my queue! Can't wait to see the yarn dyed. Are you doing it at Christina's? Monkey Farts are up on my blog! ;)

I must be totally out of the loop also - there really are some great patterns there. Thanks for the heads up. Your guild does such fun stuff - can't wait to see what you decide.

The spinning of the Finn is always a good excuse for not finishing socks. Love Finn! And the socks will definitely get done. You are in the home stretch!

Hey thanks for the inside loop link, I'm always on the outside too, so maybe now I'll feel like I'm not!

Wow - the Finn turned out great! Thanks for the link to Inside Loop... do I detect Mermaid sleeves in your future?

me again. So, I looked at the Eleanor pattern and it's written for two circs. Can that be converted over to dpns pretty easily or is it a lost cause for me....?
