Spin A Yarn for Ewe

This weekend was busy with lots of running around but I did manage to start the Spring Things Shawl and do some spinning. First the shawl really looks like a big black blob right now so no shots of it yet. The lace is going well and I have been able to almost memorize the pattern on the first chart. I still have a few more repeats of it to go but I am more than halfway there already. Here are the beads I was thinking about using.

I am not sure if they will work with the heavier yarn but without the right size crochet hook I have no idea. I have a size 10 hook (1.3mm) but it is too big. I mean the thing looks like it should fit but it is not even close so I am going to find a 13 or smaller. If I end up having to order the hook then I will probably order some other beads to compare to these.

On the spinning front, I got the first single done on the Sweet Sheep Cherry Baby roving done.

It is turning out nicely with lots of shades of red. The BFL is also a real pleasure to spin. I haven't spun any in quite a while and I really like it.

I also got something else in the mail that is tons of fun but you will have to wait until I have time to photograph it. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow so I can get some good shots as it really needs to be done outside.
