This is the finished Tour de Fleece yarn. It measured to be 600 yds. That seem really high compared to what I usually do. Now that TDF is over I think I will avoid spinning for a wile. I will show a picture of the finished shawl next time. I did a double crochet edge to bind off. I ended up with less than five yards left so I think I did well. I'm stuck on the cupcake because I ran out of the chocolate color yarn. I worked on the socks and turned the heel on one of them. It seems to fit but it's also pulling so I think I will need to add stitches. And lastly I worked on my charity knitting. I finished the project but now it's time to weave in the ends. bla. Now that this is all written out I see I have worked on a lot of thing even if it doesn't seem like it. I even entered the shawl and they yarn in a bunch of "finished object" threads and Geek Noosphere. Until I get more brown yarn I'll work on my socks and pull out the Totoros.
I listened to a lot of podcasts and I got caught up on In a Sknit and joined their group. It wasn't hard to catch up because they only have 22 episodes. The new podcast is Yarnivore. I can see why so many people like Sadie, she is so funny. I think I'm going to really enjoy listening to all her episodes. She also has a music theme so I think I may hear some new bands since she is Canadian.
I think the last thing is that I found a dyer that lives in the same town as my mom. I think I'm going to have to buy from her since she is "local." I think that's it. I always fell like I have more to say but then I go to type and it gets shortened. I'll see you next time.
