affrecaReading: Since I was out of town for much of last week, I didn't get in a lot of before bed reading. Therefore, despite its size, I'm still working through The Whole Craft of Spinning by Carol Kroll.
Spinning: I'm still in the first 2 ounces of the merino singles. I did take a break and spun some of the second color and plied up some mini test skeins to see how I wanted to deal with the two colors. The two ply of the same colors ended up looking like a regular two ply, while have different colored singles in the two ply leads to the chain look.
I packed my Turkish spindle with the silk so I could spin while traveling. I really didn't do much more than five minutes each night, so not much new. But it counts for the spin every day goal.
Knitting: I'm almost to the decreases in the alpaca hat. Not sure how much I like the pattern.
Social: KVFG meeting tonight. Showed off my projects, scheduled dye day for end of September. Showed off my projects. Some new ladies, we'll see if they keep coming.
