Something is Done
I finally got something done this week.
Yes, Strawberry Fields is finally plied. The yarn came out as a nice 2 ply and 281 yards so a little lighter then I usually spin.
I really like the colors in this one but I have no idea what to make with it.
I also worked on the Flower Basket Shawl.
See it really is getting bigger. This is with 3 extra repeats. I am going to do 4 then the last chart of 10 rows should make it about the size I want. I really have no idea what blocking will do to the size but it should be close. Worse case I think I have someone to give it to that will like it no matter what the size.

Strawberry Fields is beautiful! What about a small lacey scarf? Flower Basket looks great too - yours is starting to tempt me to cast on....

I like Jeanne's idea, strawberry field would make a lovely lacy scarf! I love the colors, they are my favorites! Flower basket is moving right a long, the lace bug bit you hard!

I am truly loving that shawl and the colorway...that's Dinah, right?
The Strawberry Fields is so sweet! Like Strawberry Shortcake...I loved her.
How about socks for the fall/winter or a light, lace shrug?

Strawberry Fields looks beautiful and the shawl takes my breath away every time I see it on my screen.

You have made progress on that shawl! And had time left to spin too. I have this coming Friday and Monday off. I am going to a Fiber Festival on Saturday, but plan on working on trying to spin a single that will end (hopefully) being a two plied sock weight yarn. I am trying....
You are an inspiration.
