So Many Singles

This batch of merino silk took forever to spin!

It's interesting how that thick and fluffy spinning can really spoil you for finer spinning. I couldn't wait to get this off the wheel!

I'm letting it sit for a bit until I get up the energy to tackle plying.

While that's resting, I'm working on this:

It's 4.2oz of corriedale from KnittyAndColor Handpainted Fiber in the colorway "Mariner's Revenge."

Return of Sock Knitting

I made good progress on the toes of the Miss Babs socks during Stitch 'n Pitch, and now both socks are done at last!

I started a new pair with Village Yarn Kangaroo Dyer handdyed in the color "macaw."

Fast and Loose

I finished with the Frabjous Fibers roving on Thursday.

I also spun up a 4 oz braid of Red Thread merino over the weekend. This is the colorway "Jasper."

Beltway Battle Stitch 'n Pitch

Went stitching at the Nats-O's Stitch 'n Pitch on Friday. I worked on the long-neglected Miss Babs Windsor socks.

Abe led the President's Race for a while:

but George won in the end. The game itself was knotted up at 1 forever, but the Orioles finally broke the tie in the 11th and the Nats couldn't catch up.
