Oh look, it's Friday.

Fridays are much less exciting when you have to work the weekend.

My knitting isn't very exciting this week, either, as I continue to plug away at the same projects. My Christmas socks are about 1/3 of the way through the leg. I'm maybe 1/4 into the tea cozy, and I've done the first two letters for my next illusion project, but I'm using a different font for this one and it's taking me much longer to work out what proportions I want for the letters. Do you have any idea how hard it is to knit script lettering? Backwards, no less?

Mostly this week I've been working on my Halloween costume, and getting things together for Nano (more on that Monday). And trying to figure out where I'll be living at the end of next month. We've had a couple of hiccups enter into the plan, and I'm not sure yet how they will work out. Hopefully I'll have a better idea next week.

Best of luck to anyone dealing with Frankenstorm right now. We're getting hit with some of the leftovers right now--rain and cold wind, mostly. Hopefully you have lots of wooly things to keep you warm.

Fleece as White as Snow. Almost.

 

But not quite.

This isn't actually fleece. It's milk fiber. Yes, milk. Like what you drink and put in your cereal. Or tea. 

Some people have shawls of shame. Others have sweaters that have sat in their PhD piles (Projects Half Done) for months...or years *cough*London Calling sweater*cough*. Me, I have spinning shame.

 

This fiber has been on my wheel since before we moved. Well, not quite this fiber exactly. I have several ounces of it, divided into thirds to make a three-ply yarn. The first third went on the wheel sometime last year. The second third went on last month (you can see it above). I have a bout a 1/4 or 1/3 of that third left to spin before I can start the final bump of fiber. I am determined that it will be completed before we move again at the end of November, which is coming up much faster than I would like, considering we still haven't found a new place to live, my NaNo plans aren't coming together, and I have a knitting book to write. 

I'd better get back to work. 

Or possibly watching anime. One of the two.
