I finished another yarn late Monday night. This is Deep Night yarn...

The little skein you see at the bottom of the pictures was beaded using a Navajo-plying beading technique from Knit-R-Done. It's a very cool method, but a little time-consuming. Since my goal was to spin 6 (!) yarns for Ravelympics, I decided to ply the remaining yarn without beads. This is definitely a technique I want to use when I have more time—it's very cool how it keeps the beads in place.
I went to Monday Knit Night at Full Thread Ahead and worked on my Silk Waves scarf. It's very pretty and it's a quicker knit than the Morning Surf scarf. I have a feeling I may finish only one of these for Ravelympics...oh, well.
Overall, I feel pretty good about my Ravelympics accomplishments. But between work and crafts, my hands are really starting to complain. I may have to swap over to quilting when the Olympics are over just to rest up my hands.
