- Finish Grandma's blanket
- Finish spinning and plying wool/silk blend
- Finish Damson
- Spin sample of Yak
- Finish 2 Squares for Basketweave Blanket
The first goal absolutely has to be done and in the next two weeks as my parents are hand-delivering the blanket to my grandma in India.
The wool/silk blend is from Rhinebeck purchases of 2008 so its about time it gets spun up. Its two 4oz rovings of this dusty rose color roving so I probably won't keep it for myself. Or I may knit it into a gift for someone.
The Damson is being knit out of Malabrigo Sock in the Persia colorway - absolutely gorgeous! This will be the first shawl I knit for myself so am very excited to finish it and wear it.
The Yak fiber is for a sweater but I have to spin up a couple of sample yarns to decide what I like best. I've never spun for such a large project.
On a completely unrelated note, I watched Avatar yesterday. Amazing movie! Such wonderful imagination on the part of the creators. What was most amazing to me was the absolutely stunning use of colors; there were so many shots where I could have just freeze-framed and if possible, copied down the colors into yarns...ooo I want to go see the movie again already! LOL.
