Wednesday WIPs: TdF Edition

 

I thought I was going to be able to spend the mornings spinning along with the Tour but my old body has other ideas. About an hour into the race my upper body and hands are screaming to stop so I spend the rest of the morning knitting with my handspun. This is the Polwarth/Silk I just finished plying. It's going to be another Thermal Mitt.


When I am bored with the mitt I switch over to the thrummed mittens. It's not spinning but it is playing with fiber so it counts, right?




I even drug out Altheda. She's a very woolly wool sweater being made of unspun Lopi so she's perfect for Tour knitting. 



In the afternoons I've been working on Festive Doodle while watching the Euro Cup. I should have had a finished sleeve to show off today but after trying it on I had to rip it out and add more length. I guess I should have tried it on sooner but those Round of 16 games have been so exciting it's a wonder I could remember to do anything right.

  1. You do have some beautiful projects to work on during the tour and the games. That Polwarth/Silk you just spun and are knitting is beautiful yarn. My handspun was never, ever, ever even close to being that perfect.
