I finished off the Bella sweater on the ferry on the way to work yesterday, which was nice, because it’s been SO hot and that sweater is SO heavy. I could have put it away for a while, but damn it went fast. Must be those size 13 needles.

This morning I finished off the second sleeve for the mohair hoodie, and was all excited figuring I was ALMOST DONE. Ha! I had this silly idea that the hood was going to go really quick and that I’d be done before the end of the day. Not. Even. Close. 96 stitches, 13 inches worth, at 6 rows/inch. Yawn. But once I finish the hood all I will have left to do is sew the sleeves on and do the side seams. Really. That’s all. It’s gonna be another month, isn’t it? Don’t answer that.

And, on the spinning front, I now have two actual skeins of yarn drying. It’s pretty amazing to take a bag of fluff and suddenly have yarn. I still don’t have a spinning wheel, so am doing it with the hand spindle, but it’s going pretty well. I think I’m putting too much twist in it though, ‘cos it’s kinda curly when I unwind it off the spindle. As for getting a wheel: da boy and I are talking about a ROAD TRIP! I had the brilliant idea of driving down to Portland to get the wheel. We’d (hopefully) get to see our friends, and they’re cheaper in Oregon for whatever reason, and there’s no tax. All are very very good things. So it actully looks like having a wheel by the end of next week is a distinct possibility! Woo-hoo!

Any of y’all going to be around next weekend?
