Time for an Update

 I've had a lot of life lately, and for a while I lost steam on my craft projects, but it's back and I've actually got a lot going on, so let's get to it.

  1. With much sadness, I ripped out the entire Miss BB cardigan.  I have taken new measurements and picked a new pattern for that yarn, but it's going to be a bit before I start it.  I'm really trying to clear out WIPs and take care of obligations.
  2. The green spinning on the goat spindle is progressing nicely.  Having a distaff to hold my fiber and having less time to use my wheel means I'm getting quite a bit of this done.  I'm almost done with the second of three plies.  
  3. The baby alpaca (Harley) fleece project is still progressing slowly.  It's hard to get wheel time and processing by hand takes time too, but it's so silky soft.
  4. The whipcord braid is done (for now).  There's always a demand for cord for SCA awards, so I imagine I'll make more as it gets used up.
  5. The Bayou Giles wavy socks were frogged, because they didn't fit and I wasn't feeling them.  I'll use the yarn for something else at someday.
  6. The Vacillate shawl is going well, it's been my main knitting project.  It must be over halfway done.  I'll use a recent pic of it as the photo for this post.
  7. The Boyfriend socks are going well too.  I'm doing them two at a time and right now I'm turning the heel on the second sock, then I'll just have to knit the legs.  The color is pretty and pooling nicely.  I need to try them on once I get the heels done and make sure they fit right.
  8. I had been working on a pair of Adrift mitts for my sister with some leftover handspun, but the colors weren't looking great, so those were ripped.
  9. Finally, for the first time in ages I took a commission to knit a Jacobite bonnet for a Scottish-American reenactor.  It's going well, they're easy-peasy.
Happy summer, all!
