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.

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.
