TDF 2014 Day 7 and 8

It  might get boring to keep seeing this silver Alpaca, but it is a nice soft spin for me and I am using this fiber up which is a great bonus for the Tour de Fleece!  I spun up an ounce batt when  we got home last night and another 1 1/2 oz batt today.
The cats missed us.......they follow us around, just waiting for a lap!
 Today I also started a Mystery Shawl Knit A Long from Wendy Johnson.
  I am using the last of the Shetland I spun up. Once I figured out the direction she wanted us to go, it moves right along!   It is nice to have some choices for go-to projects from my control-center recliner!

    That alpaca really looks like silver - it's shiny!

    That Shetland looks like perfect lace yarn. I like how the stitches are so well defined already.

    The shawl is pretty already!

    I can relate to your lap-stalking cats picture...we have been home for a week now and ours are still doing it! :)

    That's a beautiful bobbin of singles. I can't wait to see how the mystery unfolds. I love the color of that Shetland.

    I like Mystery projects -- they're so much fun! However, I have way too many projects on the go or waiting to be started to find any more!
