WIP Wednesday
I’m glad it’s WIP Wednesday around here, because frankly, there’s a lot going on at the moment. I haven’t finished anything for a while, so the WIPs from my previous posts are still hanging around. And going slowly, I’m afraid: this is the second sleeve of Myrtle, and as you can see, we’re not far into it yet:
Spinning has progressed: I’ve plyed up a couple more skeins of the alpaca blend, and spun a bobbin full of more singles. The problem I’ve had with this project is that I can’t currently get comfortable with long-draw. Comfortable as in physically, ergonomically comfortable: I’m a tall lass, and hold my fibre in the left hand. I’m currently having some fatigue/pain issues with my arms and shoulders, so the chair needs to be the right height, right position for me to spin for any length of time. No photos of these; at this point, one skein of freshly-plied yarn looks pretty much the same as the next.
So! Sundays’ swatch is now a full-blown WIP – more on that another time:
And there’s another WIP, too:
This is a quick little project; I hope to have it wrapped up by the end of the week…

Looking forward to finding out what the blue ‘waffle’ is going to turn into!
Catherine
it’s entirely understandable. With so much gorgeous yarn about you just have to knit something to get the feel of it

I love the purples in the first swatch. I’ll join you in the pain of long draw too hon, my left elbow is a bit iffy at the mo. Hold on in there.

WIPs are good provided that WIP Wednesday turns into Finishes Friday at some point! (they all look wonderful and I am still intrigued by the “waffle”)
