Sleeve 3 is finished

I finally finished the other sleeve for my ski sweater now that the weather has decided to be spring. Oh well I can get it all ready for next year. Here it is blocking (soaking it really helped the puckering of the color work). Now to do the sewing up.While I wait for that to dry I am back working on Lyra. It is taking about 45 minutes to knit one round. I am on on round 145 of 180, so the end is in sight.

Yesterday we went on a spring salamander hike at the local park. We did get to see one:
It was fun, but a little chilly. At least it is a sign that spring is indeed here.

Shouldn't I be done yet?

I am almost done knitting the second sleeve of the ski sweater, but I am not almost done. I have to knit sleeve #3. This is because I like my elbows to bend when wearing a sweater. I got the first sleeve done and decided it was too tight and too short, so I ripped what I had on sleeve 2 and started it over again with bigger needles. I also re-wrote where the increases were and increased the length by 1 inch. I have already ripped the "finished" sleeve and washed to yarn to remove the kinks.

I also spent some time spinning. I want to try a cabled yarn. I have 8 oz of a superwash undyed wool that I split into 4 even pieces. I am spinning each as a single, then will ply them. I will to cable, but if it doesn't work, I should have some nice 2 ply.
