Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Like I said before, I made quite a bit of progress on Starsky over the weekend. There was plenty of free moments to sneak in a little knitting so I did. Here is where we are now.

Oh and this too.

That is 10" of the back. Once all of the pieces are done, blocked and seemed THEN I get to start the collar and belt. These will be almost the same amount of knitting that the sweater parts were but I can not wait to get to that point. I might even block the fronts and sleeves now so I can be ready to seam sooner.

I also decided to buy myself a few items that I didn't get for Christmas. You know since some things are on sale and all. I decided to get this, this and this. I know, only the t-shirt was on sale but the other stuff I have been wanting for a while. I also bought this. I have been wanting a way to do 2ply in larger amounts without doing 2 bobbins or making a total mess out of the singles. I hope this works as well as her other stuff, the Katie-a-Go-Go is my favorite. Once this new tool arrives I will finally get this wool/mohair blend off my wheel. It has been languishing there way to long but I just don't feel like spinning another bobbin of the stuff or doing a 3ply out of it so hopefully Handy Andy will work. Wish me luck and I will let you know how it goes for all who might be interested.
