I had a whole post planned yesterday when I left...It was gonna be great and now it has left my brain completely. So I'll makeup something....I have been skeining yarn all day to dye tomorrow. I found some 100% mohair - sport weight - that is luscious and will be for sale by Friday in whatever colors I do it....It has been sitting since I bought it at TNNA in June. I love pure mohair - it seems so much softer than the stuff they add acrylic to. There should be some hand dyed sock yarn that's dry by then too.
Oh and there's the list of UFO's in my closet.....Sheep Shawl, a Sweater from some mysterious Noro and random stripes of blue alpaca that I did the sleeves for first and now have to knit the back and one front, there's a shawl I started in yarns dyed with Brazilwood. It is both knit and crochet and I would rip it out but I really like the knitted cat head in the middle of it..I may rip part of it and change the design to something a little more mindless for the rest of it...There a couple of long buried works - a cotton shell with lacey bottom edge, a fair isle alpaca sweater I started before the store and ripped out and started again and will probably have to rip again, and a free form knit/crochet jacket in many purple yarns. Current works in progress are a pair of clogs, a hat for the grandbaby, a Boku afghan for the store and the cursed feather and fan alpaca shawl that I manage a few rows a day on. There are inumerable single socks completed through the gusset and I have not been able to make myself do the heel on them. Waiting in the wings is a felted bowl I need to do for a present, and the Icelandic Shawl that was on Knitting Daily not too long ago. I have finally spun most of the yarn for it and so am looking forward to starting that as soon as either the feather and fan thing or afghan are done. Then there's the grandbaby sweater - one with paw prints on it, another I want to design with fair isle designs, red and white for the holidays.
