Memorial Day Weekend

Since my last post I have done some knitting, some spinning, some dancing, and went to my 10 year college reunion. I am still amazed that I have been out of college for 10 years now. Almost no one was at the reunion events I attended.

For knitting I have been working on my SIP and I am almost done with the first of the pair. I have also worked more on the Rosebud shawl. It takes about 1.5 hours to do 2 rows now. Here is the current picture (it looks like a larger mass of pink string)
I have also been working my Monet sweater as well. The color of this picture is better than last post's picture.
Here is the spinning I was working on as well. This is the wool/tencel blend for my sister.
Here is the result of my dancing this weekend. I got a 4th and three 1st place medals at the Cleveland 2007 Feis.So it has been a great week and weekend for all of my hobbies. Next weekend is the dress rehearsal for my Ballet class and we don't have our costumes yet. I have been assured that we will not be naked, but until I actually have the costume I am still a little doubtful.

Queen City Feis 2007

The Queen City Feis 2007 was yesterday. This was my first aniversary of competition Irish dance. This year I got 2 first places (the first and last dance of the day) and 2 third places. I did not place in one dance. They actually gave trophies for the adults.
Here are the socks I finished on the plane comming home from MS&W.
Yarn: Austermann Step
Pattern: mini-cable top down

Here is the current SIP:

And here is what the Rosebud shawl currently looks like (just a bigger pile of dental floss)
And finally here is the sweater I just started with yarn from MS&W. This is the Inspired by Monet sweater from Creative Knitting May 2007.

MS&W 2007

Well I am back from Maryland (I got to see the Pink Lemon and I came out of lurkdome and said Hi) and the pocketbook is considerably lighter. Here is the picture of our loot:
I got 3 wools to spin, 1 silk to spin and 4 wool/tencel blends to spin along with a bag pattern, a scarf pattern, yarn for 3 pair of socks and yarn for this sweater:

Before I left I got the wheel cleaned off and ended up with this:

This is the green wool/silk blend. I have about 290 yds and it weights 124g. I will figure out wpi later. I have to soak it and let it dry before I can use it. I also finished the current SIP while on the plane coming home last night, but no picture yet. I did start a new SIP with some of the loot yarns (Koigu KPPM).
