I’m not exactly sure what weight it is. I think it’s laceweight, which is what I was going for. It looks finer than fingering to me.

I have about 680 yards, I believe. I’m going to find an intricate little lace stitch to knit on small needles, and make a scarf. The reason I bought this roving back in January, is because one of the samples in my silk spinning class was a quiviat silk wimple in a beautiful little lace pattern.

Do any of you happen to recognize that pattern or stitch? I don’t. I know the pictures are bad, the lighting was horrible in that room. Dark and fluorescent.

Anyway, it had the same look to it that the camel/silk roving had in the marketplace, so I bought it. However, I don’t think I’d really use a wimple, so instead, I’m going to make a large, yet delicate scarf.

Abby’s legwarmers are done. She’s wearing them at school today, so I don’t have a picture for you yet. They’re like my muppet monster legwarmers. 2×2 ribbing with a picot bind off at the bottom.

Next up, I’m knitting an Esther Williams hat for a friend of mine that just had brain surgery, and had a third of her long blonde hair shaved off.

I need to make Liv’s legwarmers out of the tweedy yarn I spun for her this summer.

Veronica wants legwarmers before a sweater.

I’m dying to play with the romney. I want to blend it with alpaca and silk bits and spin up small amounts of different combinations that I will knit into samples for my sweater. I hope to dye it soon.

This week, we have Halloween (oh, the sock hop on Friday was SO much fun, and we looked great. Even me in a poodle skirt. I didn’t look nearly as humungous as I expected. I hope to get a picture of all of us), and Nate and I are going away for the weekend, so I need to get the house and kids prepared for that.

And I have to go shopping.
