10am Fabric in wash and having a very delicious lemon tart for morning tea. Traced out the stitchery for the xmas swap sack but that is secret sewing so no pics lol.
Next I finished spinning up the grey bobbin and decided since it was so nice and relaxing sitting in the sun that I would go ahead and ply them too. So from two single bobbins I have ended up with two full bobbins plied! Went further than I thought which is good.
Here it is skeined off and washed. It is a bit lighter than the photo and will hopefully look great knitted up. I have a fair bit more to spin before I have a jumper lot.
While I had the skeiner set up I wound off my white homespun. This is the energised yarn so it is not going to knit up straight. Instead it will want to head off to one side so I have found a pattern which will allow it to zig/zag itself as a scarf.
While waiting for Grace at piano lessons tonight I worked another 11/2 inches on my scarf. The scarf is just over a mtr long now but the ball of wool doesn't seem to be shrinking much. So I might end up with enough to do a thinner scarf as well. We'll have to see when this one is finished.
Now it is after tea and I am going to settle down to do some more knitting. I think I might leave the hems and pin cushion until tomorrow now. Almost got to the end of my list but those germs have given me a bit of a headache and I am tired.
