Spindlitis

I really think I need to spend even less time on social media. There’s a nice group on MeWe called Unraveled Conservative Knitters and the Walkaway from Ravelry group on Facebook. It’s fun to chat for a bit, but it wastes time that I could use for my projects. And I’m having more fun with my projects.

Here’s the socks I posted about, closer to being finished:

I started this fiber project on the wheel. This is BFL from Miss Babs, colorway Sugar. Really lovely stuff! I ordered another 4 ounces. I want to make a few wool undershirts for the winter. This will be the first one. I haven’t decided on a pattern yet. I’m not quite through the first four ounces.

I’m still working on the Southdown and Hot Lips. I am making some progress but the end is not in site.

I decided to give up on the Cranberry Gorse pattern. I’m using the yarn to make Sarah Swett’s Sweater Somewhat Slanted. I hope this works out. This will be the third project for this yarn.

And, this is the Bosworth Butternut Brigade!

The skinny Midi is still  my favorite. I just got the Mini, so am trying to discover what it spins best. Not sure why I am so taken with butternut spindles and why they have to have walnut shafts. But I am pleased with the group. The Maxi is the heaviest Bosworth I have at 40 grams. The Midi is 27 grams, the skinny Midi, 21 grams and the Mini is 17 grams. Add the three cherry skinnies to the mix and I have a nice range for anything I want to spin. And the cherry skinny Maxis really are great for plying.
