Spinning and Knitting

I have actually managed to do some of both. A lot more knitting then spinning but that is because that fiber is in time out.

MS3 is moving along. For those not knitting it, we are on clue 4 which is the only one for 2 weeks so it is extra long at 135 rows. I am currently 46 rows shy of completing the blue shawl and I haven't even started on the cobweb grey one but I still have quite a bit of time left but I do have to do an extra 80 rows on the cobweb one to lengthen it since it is running a little on the short side. Those size 2 needles will get you every time.

I love how it is looking and can not wait to see what is up next.

Now the fiber...like I said I have had to back away from it for now. I spun a bunch of it and love the color.
Alpaca Single
The VM and the fact that it gives off so much dye when you spin it makes me just want to scream. I should of taken a picture of my hand after I finished that much there, it was almost dark blue with so much dye. I will probably just suck it up and spin the rest as a break between the 2 shawls.

I have also heard that there is going to be a rectangular version of the Bee Fields Shawl coming out so I might wait to see that one before jumping in. Plus I have my hands full enough now.

I just got my beads and yarn.....we went to a fiber fest this past weekend and I ended up with some Malabrigo laceweight in a natural color. I figure that once I finish it, I might dye it....so I picked beads I think will go nicely with pretty much any color.

LOVE the Bee Fields Shawl!

The MS3 Shawl is just fantastic, Cayli! I can't believe how quickly you've knit this. Is it for you? The blue is the perfect color for summer...

Your handspun is so nice...I'm sorry that it's giving you such a hard time.

A rectangular Bee Fields? Awesome! I love that shawl...

Hi! Sorry about the fiber and dye. That isn't much fun.
But that shawl is amazing. You knit so quickly it just blows my mind!
Beautiful.

MS3 looks beautiful! Love the handspun - great color. What type of fiber is it?
