I am somewhat less crazy-busy at work (so it's back to semi-normal grad-student-ing). I haven't been doing much knitting--just a bit of adding to the blanket and some swatching that I'll probably discuss next week--but I'm still spinning pretty much every day.
Here's what I've finished in the last week or so:
100 yds of kool-aid-dyed wool blend, 60 yds of Boogie merino and BFL 3-ply, and about 20 yards of yarn out of a scrap of roving that my colleague A. had been given as a gift tie thingy.
I started this 3-ply mostly to clear off a couple of bobbins; the light pink and the blue are the merino I'd used for a couple of other yarns recently, and the dark pink is leftover redwood BFL that I subbed in for the blue and one strand of light pink when I ran out of them.
I think this stuff's going to be something for Dulaan, but I'm not sure what.
This is my ounce of BFL in Hosta from the almost-solid sampler. I was thinking about putting it in the green blanket, but I think it might be too bright. Maybe it'll be a lacy scarf...there's about 90 yards of it, which should be enough. But it's a little brighter and yellowy-er than I want to wear next to my face. I love it, though. And it was soooo nice to spin green after so much blue and pink and purple. (I can tolerate blue, pink, and purple, even if I don't like them much, but that was kind of a lot of non-favorite colors.)
