I don’t know what the deal is but my brain has been all over the place this week. I can’t seem to focus, I’m wired and fidgeting all the time, I haven’t been able to sleep even though I’ve been getting dead tired at night, my mind just won’t quiet down. I’ve been doing yoga every day to try to calm down but it’s not helping much, I just don’t know what the problem is.
Anyway, spinning, I’ve been doing it. The light is crap today, it is so dark outside that I can’t get a decent picture, but this is pretty close to how my finished yarn looks. The color is decent but you can’t really see the sparkle. So, this is about 4oz. of 50/50 Merino/Silk from two batts from Corgi Hill Farm on Etsy, the color is Moss Agate and you can see the exact batts I bought here. As for the batts, I love them, they are beautifully blended and soft, soft, soft. They draft and spin like a dream, too. I want about 1,000 more of them. The yarn itself came out at about 22wpi, a good lace weight, with a few thick spots, and I wound up with 690-ish yards. The yarn is soft and sqishy with a nice luster from the silk and tons of gold shimmer. I’m quite pleased with it.
I didn’t bother taking any pictures of my mom’s cardigan today but I’m about to the bind-off for the underarms which is right where I wanted to be right now. I really think I can have the body done by Monday. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
