Spring is here

Are you still knitting? Spring has finally shown up for almost a week of nice weather. Yay. So I’ve been knitting a little less than usual.

I finished my Inishmurray Shawl (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/inishmurray-shawl) in my very own handspun wool. It’s so exciting.

Mainly BFL from a spinning class I took. Then some mystery fibre (green) from Wellington Fibres (https://wellingtonfibres.on.ca/) and some Rideau Arcott (paler brown) to make up enough to make the shawl. I knit it with thicker wool since a light worsted is the best I can spin at the moment. It needs blocking which will really make it shine!

Still so thrilled to look at it.

I’m working away on my Need a Circular Yoke top (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/need-a-circular-yoke) in Allhemp3 fingering (https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/hemp-for-knitting-allhemp3). I’m going to work one more band of lace for the yoke.

Then I will figure out what my gauge really is since I changed to a larger needle size after the first bit was done. I have an idea what my new gauge is but I do need to take a measurement.

I’m teaching a top down class in Elliot Lake this summer so started my sample, a 6month size vest.

I head up north next week so the sorting of projects has started. Is 10 projects too many???

This will take all week to get it down to a reasonable number of projects that I will never, ever finish over the summer. Can you relate?

Cheers, Deb
