I realized today I quit documenting my Tour de Fleece progress somewhere at the end of all my green 2-ply, so today I shot and weighed it all in one big mess:
That’s 20 oz of hand-dyed/Succulent 2-ply, a skein of Uncle Honeybunch; a skein of Laura’s Pygora’s natural dyed merino roving as a Navajo-plied sport; a Pygora single made by Laura plyed with a merino single; plus all the extra merino plyed to itself. I think it will become a nice warm lined hat of supercushy cuteness.
The last of the Uncle Honeybunch completed my Cupcake Ranch 2008-2009 yarn, which will probably be some kind of awesome fair isle something or other. I’m guessing vest, since it’s only 12 oz total. Though, I could always do a bigger sweater and just use the handspun for the yoke, since I still have a few extra skeins of Fudgy Lamb Sport I never got around to listing….
One of the skeins of Uncle Honeybunch is way too thin. I hope it doesn’t screw me up. Bah.
Still working on my 4-ounce challenges. I’ll write up the first pattern as soon as I decide what Hello Yarn to spin for it, spin it, and knit the sample. Wow, that sounds more involved when you write it out.
Everyone out back appreciated the little dip down to 97. I knew it was cooler that it had been when I saw them grazing between the hours of 9 am and 7 pm. This was last absurdly hot day for awhile. Next week, it’s high 80s/low 90s all week, hoooorrrrah! And on Tuesday, they’re saying 76! Okay, 76 with thunderstorms, so not a fun 76, but still! 76! As the high! I can’t wait to turn off the AC and open up the windows!
