WIP-it Wednesday...

...in which we talk more about finished objects than WIPs.

One project that has been flying low on the radar is a group spinning project. 7 of us in the Spin-In group spun the same colorway of a Lisa Souza fiber. We each spun it differently and created a small sample of our handspun - some knit and some woven. One of the spinners (Knitflix) collected our handspun and samples for submission to the California State fair! The deadline for submission was 5/26 so all can be revealed now.

Here is a photo by Knitflix of the submission. There are more photos on her blog post about it. Mine is the 3rd one after the fiber sample at the top.

Now we have to wait to see what the judges say.

As I mentioned yesterday, I finished spinning a Phat Fiber box. What I didn't say was that it was the second Phat Fiber box I finished spinning this month. :)

Whenever my eyes could not take any more beading, I'd work on a Phat Fiber sample. I finished the The Bee's Knees sampler [Ravelry] first:

Specs:
Started 4/28/18
Finished 5/19/18
Phat Fiber May 2017 - mixed box
Variety of 2-ply, chain-ply, and artyarn spinning

I finished the Caterpillars and Butterflies box [Ravelry] over the weekend:

Specs:
Started 5/20/18
Finished 5/26/18
Phat Fiber March 2017 - mixed box
Variety of 2-ply, chain-ply, and artyarn spinning

I need to review what's in process to determine my new rotation items. A new mermaid is a distinct possibility!
