Still A Success To Me

I didn't make the two miles like I had planned but I think it was a success to me nonetheless.   I was able to finish the Kick Sack yesterday.

 I was also able to finish my Electron Socks yesterday also. These two projects added 655 yards to my total. I ended up with 1021 yards knit in May, which is around .58 miles of yarn knit.

I got closer on the spun yarn.  I ended up with a total of 1356 yards spun including this Black BFL from Gale's Art.  I am planning on using this for another Forest Canopy Shawl I think.

652 + 340 = 992

I am still plugging away on my mile of handspun.  This is 340 yards of shetland that I plan on using in a shawl of some sort.  This brings my spinning total up to 992 yard out of 1760.

I am in the process of plying this up so I will have another finished yarn to share soon.

Make that 652

Yards of handspun total so far this month.  This is Two Windows Dye Company out of Hutchinson, KS.  It is 414 yards of superwash fingering weight.

I have already started a project out of this yarn.  I am making a Kicking Bag for the principal at my oldest daughter's school.  She is having a baby boy in August.

238 Down / 1522 To Go in the Spinning Mile

I started with this Blue Faced Leicester from Gale's Art.  It was called Orange Juice Overload.

It became 238 yards of a heavy fingering.  I navajo-plied it to keep it stripy.  I am thinking of using it for a pair of socks or fingerless mitts.

The Miles of May

I have come up with an idea.  I am not so sure that it is a good one but hopefully it will help me get finished with some spinning and knitting projects.  I am planning to spin a mile of yarn.  Unfortunately, it won't include this bobbin since I finished most of this yesterday.  

I have four pairs of socks on the needles right now. I need to get them finished. The green and black pair I am considering ripping out. I have also have decided to finish a mile of knitting projects.

So my plan is to knit and spin a mile of projects.  As of right now, I have spun .54 miles of yarn this year.  As of right now I have knit 1.32 miles of yarn.  Hopefully by the end of the month my goal will be accomplished.
