I am back.

I have done some spinning. Here is about 775 yds of a 3-ply made from 2 ply of coopworth and 1 ply of a mohair/llama/merino blend. Unfortunately I think I am allergic to the blend part. My eyes started itching every time I worked with it. I still have more of the coopworth that I can spin to a 3-ply to add yardage to this.



I also finished one mouse from the Alan Dart Circus mouse pattern in Simply knitting. I decided to make a ballet mouse instead of a juggler. I still need to figure out how to put ballet shoes on her feet. She is about 7 inches tall including ears.

This past week we spent in Holly River West Virginia camping. Here is the campsite after the rain finally stopped. Note that the big white shelter is tilted. The rain the first night overloaded the tarp part and bent 2 leg parts and the ridge pole.


While camping I worked on Egeblad. I decided to follow BrooklynTweeds' idea of using thicker yarn and a doily pattern to make a throw size. I was using Lion Brand's Fishermans wool and 5.5mm needles. It finished up to be about 36" diameter. A little to small, but still looks good.
