no, it's not abandoned

Sorry to be so long between posts. Yes, I am still knitting and spinning. I'm working on a Braids cardigan using some old Brown Sheep yarn. (If you remember the old "Can this sweater be saved" pages, it used to be on that.) I've got one arm started and the body is complete. I'm also working on some socks for Jeffrey. I'm using Opal for these. I'll have to see how it wears. The pattern is not as clear with this yarn as it is with Regia. Wish I could have bought sock yarn yesterday. Speaking of that, I went to Oregon Flock and Fiber with a co-worker. Didn't buy a thing but it was fun anyway. She is not a spinner so I was able to give her too much information about all things spinning.

As for my spinning, most of it is done by spindle these days. The wheel takes up a lot of room in the trailer. I'm making progress on a sock yarn project. I think I may take the wheel over to a house we are caretaking and do some spinning this week. I need to do some thick singles for a Cowhichan sweater that I want to make for a friend.

I've joined Ravelry, so I hope that it will encourage me to put some effort into this blog. Really, it needs pictures badly. I'll see what I can do.
