I never realized how long it takes sometimes to title a blog post. I want to think of something fun and catchy, and that summarizes what I did last week and this weekend knitting wise. I could not think of anything so I ended up with "washing" because I did wash last week and this weekend, LOL.
I finally washed two handspun skeins I had. The green/gray is Corriedale, 1.07oz, 200 yards, 2 ply. The purple/blue/gold one I think is BFL/Silk because its soooo soft and I don't have the tag. This was part of a sample I received when I took a spinning class in Lafayette at the Yarn Boutique. this one is not even one ounce, its 0.71oz. I don't know the yardage at this time, I will have to re-skein it. Its also a 4-ply and its a cable ply. Both were spun on my spindles. Both look like fingering weight.
I have also been knitting on some mitts. They are called "Great Weekend Mitts". I finished one hand with the placket and buttons, but left the other hand without it because I am not sure which way I like it best. Should I go forward and knit the placket with the buttons on the second one? or rip the placket?
I also started another Ear Flap Hat for charity. This coming weeks knitting plans will be charity knitting, more ear flap hats. I might add more things later on, or spinning.
