What I've been up to

I'm still plugging away on my gansey. Had a friend pin it up today
and we decided I need 2" more on the back. I'm planning to add
shoulder straps in order to lower the front neckline, but the back is
still too short as knitted. Go figure.

I've been spinning and plying like a fiend. The yarn came out a tad
heavier than I wanted for the project I have in mind, but I can work
with it nonetheless.

That's an 820yd hank that weighs 7.375oz, so the yardage works up to
something just short of 1800ypp. It looks bulkier than it is because
if went FOOF when I scoured it; I expect to knit it at 8spi or finer.

Please send us a picture of the finished project Wooly.

Hugs & God bless,

Leave it to Wooly to educate us on all the technical knitting and spinning
terms. I had to note "foof" in the margin of my dictionary right next to
"foofaraw."

At 1778.9 ypp, it would be fine enough to knit lace for ---- The Queen
Mother, or, ---- hose for The Pope!!!! You sly one! You did not tell
us! Do you have a royal commission? Or, are you going to knit socks
for ---- His Holyness? (LOL)
