I decided to follow the crowd and make Wednesdays WIP Wednesday à la Tami on Blogspot.
I hope that this will give me incentive to post something every Wednesday. I have a bad tendency to let time get away from me.
Progress should be my middle name. Pinko Progress Knitter. Ha! I’ve been zipping right along on all my current projects. The Spider Queen has nearly half of her final edging completed. That’s right, nearly half. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she’ll be finished before the month is over. No pictures of her this time–she’s sleeping soundly in the knitting corner and I don’t want to disturb her.
My other current knitting project, the Show-Off Stranded Socks, is also happily marching toward completion. I’m nearly finished with the leg of sock #2, so the socks should also be completed before September runs out of days.
Show-Off Stranded Socks
On the spinning front, I’ve been spinning up some Falkland from Spinneretta in the Drought Time color way. I’ve spun about 3/4s of the fiber. It’s a lovely color way, don’t you think?

All Kinds Of Knitting 
Love the texture on those socks. I’ll have to add that pattern to my list. Your spinning looks terrific — great colors!
Thanks. I love the texture on the socks, too. It works really great with the hand painted yarn. The spinning is a bit of an experiment with fractal spinning, so I won’t really know how it turns out until I ply the singles. But with such lovely colors, I don’t know how it could go wrong. 🙂
You are a really productive person. I can’t commit to two or even three projects. My mind is always egging me on to cast on one more.
I have to fight really hard to resist the urge to cast on one more project. Most of the time I lose the fight. 🙂
Knit or spin…..spin or knit………
I knit my daughter’s spinning
That’s so sweet. 🙂
I have considered spinning, but there are so many things I want to try, I’d just rather knit.
I really love your socks and your spinning is inspirational 🙂
Thank you!
That color of the yarn you’re spinning is very pretty indeed. And it’s always good to see someone else who likes to spin on a drop spindle.
I plan to expand my spinning repertoire and get a wheel in the not too distant future but my spindle collection is growing and will continue to grow, I’m sure. I love using a drop spindle.
I’m also thinking about getting a wheel, but only in a vague sort of way. I’m so new to spinning that I havent’ really had time to absorb a lot of information yet. What are the good brands? What are the virtues of certain styles of wheels over others? Which wheels are good quality but high priced because they’re a luxury brand? Etc…
