But I have finished (I think) spinning all the yarn for my February Lady cardigan. I have spun around 880 yards of Romney wool and another 330 yards of merino wool. The merino is still drying so I don't have a good picture of what it all looks like yet. When I get home I'll take a picture of my sweater's quantity of hand dyed, hand spun wool... But for now here's a picture of some of it drying:
Here is a picture of some of it, hanging out in my dark house...
And in a spirit of uncharacteristic diligence and planning, I actually knit a swatch of the lace panel to make sure the colour wasn't tooooo busy for it.
Having finished my spinning, I resolutely put everything down and began knitting frantically. You see, I only let myself have four projects going at any time... and I have exactly four projects on my needles right now. Soooo many needles, so few projects. :( And they're all really boring right now! Garter stitch forever, stockinette forever, foot rows leading to a toe decrease. Boring, boring, boring! But I absolutely must finish one of these projects so that I can start my cardigan. I have nothing exciting to wear to the MSWF to show off my knitting... But I can absolutely be working on the February Lady while I'm there!
... You think I should take a half day from work to finish my knitting?
