Wednesday WIPing 2/30/08
How about that? There was actual knitting this week. Not too much, but at least I picked up a sock and added about an inch to it. Last time I knit on the Corrugated Rib sock, I decided I was tired of knitting corrugated so I switched to stockinette. That means the sock can hope to be knit on. I still love the look of the corrugated rib, just got tired of the slow pace when I'm knitting it. Goal: finish the leg, maybe work on the heel flap.
Even bigger surprise: I spun a skein, and then plied it. After carding about a pound of merino and angora
together, I had to see how it spun. I spun an ounce and got about 160 yards out of it. I'm quite pleased with it. I didn't get any more carding done this week, and might not until first of the week. Barring any unpleasant surprises, I'm going to MDSW this weekend and need to finish up some bunny chores before I go. (Anyone need a baby bunny? I have a doe, and possibly a buck, too, available and can bring them with me.) Goal: see how little money I can spend. Hey! Quit laughing.
You're going to MDSW!?! Are you going for both days?

Wish I was going - even just to see YOU and not collect a baby bunny. Have a blast!
