Tuesday
I plied the December Beaches yarn from Gina via Sereknity. This shop is another source of major temptation but you can all blame Gina for it this time. It was lovely roving to spin and I love the colors.

The merino/tencel blend makes for a very easy spinning fiber that I can spin very thin and even. The shine is the extra bonus.
CeCe and I have come to an understanding and we are moving along although slowly. Each row currently has well over 250 stitches so it is taking longer but with each decrease we are getting there. I even managed to get about 6 rows done last night before abandoning it for the Beaches yarn.
The hat design had to be ripped back a few rows but I think the changes I made will work. I am going to put it all together knit a few rows and then have him try it on. I am doing it magic loop just so we can do this. I really don't want to knit the whole thing and then have him say, "well, if only it was...."
