Is it cotton candy?

This looks good enough to eat!

But it would taste terrible. Finished 310 yards of 2-ply handspun Romney. More to come.

...and it's still here!





Gorgeous day. Beautiful place. So lucky to be here.

5 mile walk starting at 7:00 am, a bit later than usual, but sleep was so delicious. The cannon fired at 8:00 as I was heading back.

At this point in the vacation, the days begin to blend together, in a delightful way.

Knitting continues on the "Summer of..." MKAL, with the final clue due to arrive on Friday, August 2nd.
Maybe I already posted this. Losing my memory...

Handspinning: plowing through 17.2 ounces of Romney in pinks and reds. I wound bobbin #1 into a cake this morning so I could measure it. The second bobbin is filling up quickly. Trying to get 2 ounces spun up each day.

443 yards of Romney singles

??? yards of Romney singles.

Nine little hexapuffs are complete.

Some new purchases:
Artyarns "Regal Silk" for another MKAL starting August 1 on Craftsy

Malabrigo Sock for the Estuary Shawlette purchased at Over the Rainbow Yarn
 
Quince and Co. Finch for Aranami Shawl - did I already post this???
That's all for today! Hope to finish the first Dragon's Egg sock and make more headway on my Vitamin D sweater, along with spinning 2 more ounces of Romney. Will it (the Romney) never come to an end???

More

It seems that I'm settling into a routine here:
  • Early morning fast walk (at least 3.5 miles, more often 5.0 miles)
  • Coffee and knitting
  • Knitting on sock
  • Knitting on sweater
  • Knitting on MKAL
  • Knitting at least one hexapuff
  • Spinning
  • Needlepoint
I'm doing a little bit on each project everyday. Works for me!

Photos!
