So...when do I get to spin, eh?
Argh - it's been over a week since I've sat down to spin ANYTHING. It's killing me! However, I have been knitting in my "spare" time ::snort:: and at least I have two things to show for it. Once again (this should be a given by now), I have to apologize for the poor quality of photos. They're all either over-exposed, under-exposed or out of focus! First, I made a Slotted Neck Scarf for my mom from some Rowan Felted Tweed, #146 Herb. It took just a bit over 1 skein (191 yds), so I'm guessing somewhere between 200-250 yards? No, I am *not* going to rip it back and measure it for you. I kept messing up on that thing nearly every step of the way and I'm not about to re-do it! Anyway, it blocked beautifully - hurray! I don't know why, but I had this awful fear that it was going to s-t-r-e-t-c-h uncontrollably once I got it wet. I don't know why! I just did!

It is green, it is beautiful!
Very nice job and very pretty! I really like the color. I've really got to try a pattern in that stitch.
Yes, DO try it, Dori Ann! It's really fun to do Garterlac (I like its' looks far better than Entrelac). The only not-fun thing about Garterlac is that it's harder to knit backwards than to purl. Eh, well - it's not like I'm making a scarf the length of a Dr. Who scarf, right?
LOL - you like green, Delighted? It's my favorite color - and my mom's, as well!
