My internet access has been spotty this week.  The cable company says they’re having city wide problems and we have to be patient, we’re switching to DSL, if we can ever get online to order it. Heh.

Yesterday, since I couldn’t get online all day, I finished off my hand woven wash cloths.  I really like the looped pile cloth but the textured one is nice, too, I just like the looped better.  They’re pretty small, around seven inches wide by five and a half inches tall, but I think they’ll be okay.

Since I finished Citron, I decided to cast on another little shawl.  This is some of my older handspun, it varies from lace to fingering weight and I’m using a size 4US/3.5mm needle.  I first tried a lace pattern at the top but the yarn is so busy that the pattern didn’t show up.  So, I think I’ll do the top plain and then a lace edging, I even have a couple in mind that I’ll try out when I get there.  I’m doing this very much on the fly, no figuring numbers, no charting, no real planning, so I have no idea how it will work out, but it’s just knitting, I can always fudge something to make it work.

I did chart out the lace for my original shawl idea and I might try it with some different yarn.  I have a bunch of white sock yarn that I can use (and dye, if I want) so I think I’ll try it out next.  Maybe.

Last week I ordered these batts from Corgi Hill Farm on Etsy and I just got them in the mail yesterday.  The big batts are Merino, Silk and some gold Firestar and the smaller batt at the bottom is Merino, it’s just a little sample.  The batts are gorgeous, the fiber is so soft and shiny.  I have 4.3oz and I plan spinning some today.

It is so dark outside today.  I snuck up on Sally and caught her sleeping on the couch this afternoon, I had to use a bright flash it’s so dark in my house.

And I am off to spin.  Have a great weekend!
