Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I had lots of weekend progress the week. I am almost done with the Spring Things Shawl. I just finished the last of the scallop edge and I now have just 2 rows left. I am so ready to block this thing.

This is a shot of the bottom with the beads. I really love how it looks and can not wait to see the transformation that I know will happen with blocking.

As far as the blocking goes I decided to take some advice I found online and got some steel rods from the local welding supply store. It was so funny to go in there as the guy took one look at me after I told him what I wanted and said, "Are you going to be welding with these?" I should of said yes just to freak him out even more.

I also did some spinning this weekend. Not a lot but I did get started on the Spunky April fiber, Strawberry Fields.

I decided to split it up differently then I normally do so it will be fun to see what that does as far as lining up the colors. I don't really care I just needed to do something different. This time I split it lengthwise instead of just in half.
