a fine finish for Tour de Fleece...

...we had an end-of-the-Tour Spin-In yesterday. Great company, great food, and lots of spinning. Thanks for hosting, Spinnity!

I spun the singles for this yarn on Saturday and plied them at Spin-In. The corriedale top is from Judy's Novelty Wool in the Lake Tahoe colorway.

I'm not washing this one until after I've woven it into something.

I finished 4 yarns for this tour, one of which has been a WIP since 2007. I'm quite pleased with my output, especially considering how much I had to do at work. Here's a collage of my Tour de Fleece accomplishments:

One other thing I managed to do this weekend was block the Reflection Shawl. Even after blocking, this shawlette is simply too small for me—it's more of a triangular scarf. I have to admit that it does look very nice blocked. I need to survey my friends and family to see who loves yellow. If I have no takers, it's destined for the dye pot!

Now that I have the shawl done, I can start a new project. Weaving or knitting? I haven't decided yet. Maybe I should go back to the sewing machine and finish a quilt...
