We have more pictures today.

I have signed up for the Amazing Lace knitalong and want to introduce my team.
My team will consist of the Flirty Ruffles shawl pattern from Fiddlesticks Knitting and a 2500 yd skein of Spider's Web solid from Joslyn's Fiber Farm. It was purchased from Ebay along with the kits for Peacock Feathers, Summer in Kansas and Concert in the Park. This team was chosen due to the fact that every woman needs a good black shawl. It took 24 minutes to wind the skein and the ball winder was practically smoking when done.

I have been busy with my swift and winder this weekend and I had help from the curious pest known as Peanut.



All and all I did get a lot done:

Lace pure wool (100 gr/850 yds) from Handpainted Lace.
I am a little disappointed.
This is their Butter colorway. Very pretty variegated yellow, but one skein was one whole ounce lighter than the other!

This is their Thistle colorway. Both balls the same size but one is variegated and the other is solid blue!

The last two skeins of the Oceanos colorway turned out much better (see the center of the group photo above.) I am now thinking of using all 4 blue skeins in a Pi Shawl starting with the variegated Thistle moving to the solid Thistle and ending with the Oceanos. Plans for the Butter colorway are undecided.
