Catching up Double time

Okay long time no post. but here goes.

On my needles
Mom's Meadow flower shawl, thanks goodness for lifelines. Meadow flower shawl for my littlest niece. started a shawl for myself, complicated lace pattern. Will tell you it's name later when I find the pattern. Also Labyrinth socks from Socks from the Toe up by Wendy Johnson. And my vampire boyfriend socks from Knitty.
Behind the Wheel
on my Ashford traditional I'm spinning up some silk merino in two shade of green and one shade of blue in an attempt to blend colors together. Also spun up some wool on my drop spindles. Last week I had discovered how nice the gray wool I have at the cottage would go with the aqua and lilac wool at Twisted ewe so got an ounce of each and spun that up on my drop spindles. Will finish up the silk/merino on my wheel before I spin up the gray to ply with the aqua and lilac.
The Write Life
I had to decide to join along with Camp NaNoWriMo writing 50k words in 31 days. Maybe a little easier with an extra day. but summer also means going outside a lot and July also means Tour deFleece, the spinning while cyclists are racing on bicycles in France. I am trying my best but I am a little bit behind on both. Thanks to having getting Netflixs I have been watching a lot of Anime during the day. But have done some drawings of characters and places for inspiration.
