It was a nice productive weekend.  Yesterday I knitted my tail off and finished this:

It’s really stunning and I’m so excited about it.  And, I even blocked it.  I know, right?  But blocking wires are my best friend.

And today I spun up the caldera batts into a lovely single:

I really loved this batt.  It was a blend of romney, silk noils, tussah silk, bombyx silk, and viscose.  It really spun up effortlessly.  Now I just need to figure out what I am going to make with this.  I only have 95 yards of heavy worsted.  So, I’m thinking hat?  Maybe?  

And just for the record, my dog must be having quite the dream right now.  All four of his paws are twitching frantically.  Do you think he’s chasing squirrels?  I hope he catches them.  They’re stealing all of my birdseed from the feeders.

Today I’ve been trying to knit.  And I say trying because I have been very unsuccessful at the attempt.  I’ve screwed up the avalon scarf beyond repair.  The only thing left to do is frog and start over.  But I did try to knit a second avalon with some different yarn.  I screwed it up on row 12 beyond repair also.  I guess this is the knitting gods’ way of knocking me down after the merino triangle high that I was on this morning as I pulled out the blocking pins.  So, looks like I’ll be giving it another go in a day or two.

I would like to start the absinthe socks though.  And the cotton slouchy hat.  Or maybe I should finish something that I’m already working on… like avalon.
