Blocked

 

This is what the last stage of the Vuelta looked like yesterday. Masses of protesters blocked the roads so the race was called with 50 miles or so to go. I thought I had 3 hours of time with my handspun projects watching the final laps and then the awards but I only got one-and no awards ceremony. I was happy to see that my guy won the thing but not happy about giving up my time. 

Here's my three weeks worth of progress on the knitting projects I said I was going to concentrate on. The Garter Squish is getting tinked back to the yellow and then I will cast it off. The second sock is past the heel and the Pi shawl still has a loooong way to go before the fancy border is finished. 

I will have had seven wind offs with the drop spindles when I wind these last three off. There's plenty of fiber left so I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing it again during next year's TdF. 

The Cormo fiber that was on the Ladybug is finished. 

It didn't get a podium finish but here it is atop all the other finished skeins from this year's Grand Tours. I need a plan to use all this up before next year's roll around again.

I'm giving my wheels a rest for a while. I have projects on the Traveler and the Traditional but they're on hold for now. I'm spun out.
