I finished very little this month, but that's the way it goes sometimes! Here's the recap:

    Spun and plied on Lendrum Folding wheel
    Yield: 390+ yards traditional 3-ply; approx. 50 yards Navajo plied
    Weight: average 15 wpi; somewhere between CYC weight 2 (fine) and 3 (light)

In progress:
  • Spinning 2 ounces Chasing Rainbows Merino top in Moonstone; 4+ spindle-fulls so far
  • Toe-up Jaywalker socks in Blue Moon's Rockin' Sock Club yarn in Walking on the Wild Tide (AKA Tide Walkers)
    (They were an inch too long in the foot; frogged back, reduced length bu an inch and started increases again.)
Started:
  • Spinning 4.2 oz of Yarn Wench 100% wool top in Lupines and Poppies; 1 bobbin so far
On Hiatus until I can face them again:In progress, but didn't work on:

This month, I want to finish spinning the Moonstone and Yarn Wench rovings, plus finish the Tide Walker socks. I joined the Tour de Fleece spin-along, so that will help me get the spinning done! As for my next knitting project, I'll have to decide what to tackle next once I get those Tide Walkers done!
