Friday Fluff

 

I've made peace with my Olympic spin. How could you not with those colors? I just have to spend a little time sorting out the fiber before spinning which is a nice relaxing thing to be doing anyway. 



The handspun Garter Squish is back in production. After all the ripping, I had to put it in time out for a while but now I'm working with some handspun that I think will work better with what's come before. 




I've managed to do one pattern repeat on the Pi Shawl everyday. All those stitch markers count out 20 stitches which is how many edge stitches I use up with the border if I do one pattern repeat 5 times a week which might be manageable. There are 11 sections so at this rate it will take me 11 more weeks to finish this thing. Ouf....

    I knit a blanket with that many stich markers. Placing them every 20 stitches is the only way I could keep the project somewhat on track with the pattern. I use lots of them when knitting lace - maybe that is why I rarely knit lace projects?

    Good to see garter squish again - it's so pretty, as is your pi shawl. That looks huge!!

    Those jewel-like colors on your wheel are lovely. Are you sure that Garter Pi shawl isn't an area rug? That piece is going to be gigantic once it's off the needles!

    It all looks so warm and cozy. I just cast off on the shrug and I think Im going to have to do the collar again

    The fiber is spinning up so prettily! The garter squish blanket looks lovely! All of those stitches on the needles--I bet it feels like it will take forever to get it done!

    Those are beautiful colors on the wheel. I'm loving the garter squish. I may just have to make another one with my scrap yarn. Piper claimed Grammy's, (Dennis's Mom), when she passed. She loves to snuggle up in it.
    Blessings and hugs,
