You know I took the following photos so long ago they aren’t really even accurate as to where I am in my projects but what the hell. I did a bit of stash enhancement because I had a gift cert to yarn market and I realized I wanted yarn to make basic black from magknits and the tangled yoke patterns. I decided to go with ultra alpaca light in the following colors. I might make basic black in umm black because I’d wear it a lot.

I’m clearly on a green kick. Anyway I love Ultra Alpaca. It’s just such a good buy. I also got the super snazzy electronic row counter. The deluxe model even. It’s so totally awesome. Like way better than even I thought it would be. The one thing I would change if I could would be for there to be some sort of ‘lock’ feature.

Spinning is going swimmingly. I love Siouxsie. I am getting better at making less bumpy yarn and its even getting fairly thin. Predrafting is my savior here. The other day I decided I had done enough with white and tried my first colored roving. This is subject to change but I think I’m going to stick with more one colored rovings in the future.

The body of thermal is done. I just need to do the sleeves. I did start one but after spending two days knitting the same repeats over and over and over I decided it needed a brief time out. However it is further along than this pic would indicate.

Finally the sock. I’ve actually started the ribbing so it’s almost done. I have to say Shibui is amazing yarn.

My goals this month are to finish my wips. I’m not sure where Vee fits into that. I’ll have to see how much time I have this month. We’re staying home for the holidays so that should help out. Also Justin has 22 days of leave so that means more knitting time for me.
