Days 6-8 of #tourdefleece2025
On day 6, I started a new spin, looks like strawberries and cream, which I continued working on today (day 8).
On day 7, I took my longtime spin on the road to a women’s retreat and did some spinning outside by the river.

Yay for a long weekend to give me time to prep some fiber. I’ve run this guts mix from @mellyknits.bsky.social through the drum carder 4 times. Debating whether to do another pass….

Lock popping some wool from last @mellyknits.bsky.social guts to get it ready to card. I’ve been super motivated after purchasing this nifty tool from @clemesandclemes at Maryland Sheep and Wool festival a couple weeks ago.
Yeah but you didn’t cheat and decide to redo the blind choosing….that’s amazing self control 😂 😂 and you were rewarded with a great result
I would never have thought to put those two braids together, but I love the plied yarn 😍
Who did this?
I stand with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands!
Wow! That’s so cool and impressive!! 😍😍 I’m working on my first sweater spin and it’s on a wheel and feels like it will be forever….been focusing on breaking it down into smaller goals.
This weekend’s works in progress: a spring #Sonrae (pattern by Jennifer Steingass) and started a sweater spin project.

Finished my #Eunsweater (pattern by @novemberknits) in time to wear it when it still feels a little chilly outside! I love the color and drape I got with @sonderyarnco.bsky.social’s Halo and Sunday Morning 4 ply.

Back to hiking with my backpacking buddy 🙌🏼

I’m glad for the inspiration you provided to use up my single skeins in a way that I could get good use out of the FO!
Thanks! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out since different strands are finishing and being introduced constantly….but I’m happy with how it’s come out 😊
Languishing WIP getting some attention today. Side benefit, I get to be warm underneath this almost finished blanket 💜
No pattern, ribbed blanket inspired by @whiskyandwooool.bsky.social

It’s a great pattern!
Thanks!
Fit check after binding off hem 🙄😂😂 so glad it worked out…usually I just end up with another cropped sweater though usually aiming for full length.

Chile = time with family/friends ❤️☀️🌊⛰️🍷
Seeger definitely thinks that weekend knitting interrupts petting!
Hello Bluesky! Preparing for the upcoming week by spending some time at my wheel, listening to a good book and my dogs keeping me company.
