Lots of things guys –

Winners of the Start-along –
Laurie521 won the Daizieknits yarn, CaffeinatedGert won the Fondant Fibre punies! Congrats, ladies!

AND We’re going into a Bonus Round! This month, keep showing me what you’ve started! Using the same threads, start opening a new thread for each thing you start. I’m giving away a skein of superwash merino fingering weight from A Riot of Color and a one-of-a-kind batt from a friend at guild.

FO – Indy Dishcloth out of I Love this Yarn! Stripes in Too Pink.

WIPs –

Spinning –
KnittyandColor merino in Tidepool colorway. Split down the middle lengthwise, spinning end-to-end, will chain ply.

Acquisitions –

  • Some decals to put on my spinning wheel from Old Time Pottery
  • My yarn from the yarn crawl came in – Shepards Wool 3 ply Merino in Sage. SO SOFT.

Tour de Fleece!
Team Caffeinated 2014 – I really have no goal set yet beyond spinning every day.

Goals!
Still gotta knit that SPAKAL sweater, need to work more from patterns I already own, I finished some socks for the hubs (yay!), and I still have a hairpin lace project, the Sipalu Bag, Radiating Suede Star AfghanAugusta cardigan](/projects/Mandikat/augusta-cardigan), and The Oncoming Storm.

Thank you CoggieTM for KISSy the Sheep!

Fun episode today.

First, the Mercedes craft-along is over, and mama2LilynDevon – you won the Nooch Fiber yarn!! Congrats!

Second – the Who-along has started! I talk about the fun with my The Oncoming Storm and it’s beads (fiber from DaizieKnits on etsy).

I finished a mug cozy and show you how to crochet a circle!

Also working on – Paul’s Black Socks (they are simple skyp socks out of yarn from knit and fiber creations), Augusta Cardigan (out of New England Knits), and Light and Up.

Spun some on the Gnomeacre’s Gnomeberry, who’s shop is here.

Got a new bag for my Little Gem! The California Pak Big Eazy Rolling Tote from Amazon. If you want one, you can do a more extensive search on google for it and find even more patterns.

And finally, will I finish my Light and Up to enter at SAFF? If your prediction is correct and the RNG likes you, you’ll win a sample pack of Eucalan! Visit the thread stickied in the group for details!
