My friend Katie came over today for our monthly dieting check in. Neither one of us had anything great to report (she’s still totally kicking my butt), so instead, we spun and ate lunch.

I finished a couple rows on the faroese shawl, and then spun up the last two rolags on a bobbin of that fleece I’ve been griping about for months. It was the third bobbin, so I got to start plying.

It’s very exciting.

I think I’m about half done with the faroese shawl.

I’m almost through the third skein. I can’t knit more than four rows at a time before needing to take a break, and I usually only get through 2-3. I don’t know if it’s because I’m trying to get it done as fast as possible, or if my eyes are going, but it’s been tough.

Tonight is the spinning group at Village. I’m going to take both projects to try to get as much done as possible. And I’m going to once again fondle the three colors of Koigu that I’ve been wanting. Now that I’ve discovered most of the shawls in the Faroese Shawl book are for fingering weight yarn, I’m wanting six skeins of each, instead of just the two for socks.

Dangit.
