I've been stricken with a dreadful cold out of nowhere, so this will be quick.
Finally got a picture of the babies in the sweaters I made them-presenting Lincoln and Roscoe.
I am not sure which is which.
I have just over a pair and a half of socks to complete in just under three weeks.  Should not be a problem.  I guess it helps that I'm knitting for one less person.  Sigh.
Also, shopping is done.  Other than the last minute filler crap that goes into the stockings, I got everything.  Again, probably made easier by one less person to shop for.  Again, sigh.  But I was being stupid thinking up to the last minute there would be some sort of reconciliation.  At this point, I have not seen my daughter in almost a year and there is no reason to imagine that will change.  The things I've already bought her, I will probably donate to a women's shelter.
Trying not to spin too much because I need to finish the socks.  But I did do this skein of merino/silk.  Bad cell phone picture, all I have for now.  I am not up to doing an outdoor photo session. Maybe over the weekend.  Two ounces, almost 300 yards, spun on the Fibership.  There is more blue than it appears.
I'm doing a similar silk/merino in a complimentary colorway and thinking of combining them in a project.  Since there's not enough for a decent sized project on their own.
Naptime, possibly.  I might get a load in the wash first, though.
Chitchat and the occasional in-depth analysis about fiber, knitting, spinning, crochet, cooking, feminism, self-image, and a modicum of personal blathering.
