In this episode, we’ve got some knitting, some spinning, and I am all spun up about some long weekends I have ahead of me.

Updates

I don't have a fun story to share but I dive right in to the crafting.

Knitting/

Flashback socks: I used instagram to help me choose between flashback patterns I have been wanting to knit - Jaywalker, Leyburn, Skew and Simple Skyp. Skew was the clear winner and I got those cast on. I dug through my stash and found Claudia Hand Painted Yarn - the original recommended yarn from when Skew was originally published.
I cast on a cowl in Chunky Merino Super Wash Merino by Plymouth Yarns
Big knitting update: My Blue Heaven is finished. I mean finished, knit, blocked, done. The pattern has been reviewed by my tech. editor and is in final edit. Once I get the photo shoot done, it will be published.
It is a chevron shawl out of a Gradiant set I got from The 100th Sheep.
I am still working on a plain pair of self-striping socks in Rainbow Trout Stripe by Artistic Yarns. I am doing a toe-up sock this time and planning on using a heel by Lara Neel.
I will be looking for feedback on packing travel knitting.

Spinning

It has really helped to put the spindle out in the open on a shelf. I am definitely spinning more often when I walk passed it.
