May Mid-Month Check In

 

Spinning:

• Flat Iron: Gulf Coast Native rolags: 2 bobbins full and rewound onto storage bobbins, just started bobbin 3.
• Kiwi: Corriedale sweater spin: just about finished with bobbin #3

Knitting:

• Finished Stroll sport-weight socks
• Working on DRK Everyday sweater, both arms are done and I am a couple inches from the ribbing on the body
• Cast on the Endelaus Cowl.  This pattern is from Skeindeer's Matchy-Matchy collection.  I cast on a new project because I needed to try out a new set of needles, but this is also something that has been in my head for awhile as a project for TWT Selection box yarns.  I'm holding the Plum and Finull from the box together for the CC and using white Finull from my stash as the MC.
• Still knitting on Festive Yoke Pullover: I get a few rows in here and there, I've progressed about half an inch on the body since the last update.  It is better than nothing?

Fiber Prep:

• Corriedale: Nothing new about this, except that I have spun all the nests I had stored up and I am at the point where I am combing a handful of nests and spinning them within a day or two now.  I am now under 1.5 lbs of clean locks.  I've amassed about 8 oz of clean combing waste to use in a later drum carding project.
• Gulf Coast Native:  I have maybe 8 or 9 oz of clean fleece to flick open on the lock pop and then card into rolags.
