It was hot this past Saturday, almost 100 degrees, as my husband and I commemorated our vows at the farm. Today driving into town I drove through the thickest fog I've ever seen, only in Colorado.
We have had some crazy rain making mud and with my four wheel drive not working I was stuck at home more than once. My husband didn't make it home for 2 nights in a row in his all wheel drive. Below is a picture of Chloe, she is a Shetland Rambouillet cross. She is sopping wet standing in the mud in the sheep pen.
I have been knitting during this. I did do another swatch for my knitting masters in the acrylic with no reaction, and am carrying an acrylic project bag without reaction, just not ready to go back yet...
These are for a class I have submitted to a fiber festival. I will reveal more the end of July.
I haven't done much on Paca Shawl 2, but here is a picture of my progress and the current working chart. I'm focused on fair, more on that in a minute.
I am knitting Robbie a new pair of socks, as he loves the last pair. He did ask for a change though and I'm not sure exactly what that is going to mean. He wants them tighter in the leg but everything else the same. Here is my progress so far. These are also my first set of two tone socks.
So fair. I am hoping to enter Aurora into the Arapahoe County fair the end of July. This is my progress since last time.
The gray roae marks where the increasing stopped and I started working even. I have since done one row of major increase and am approaching another. I still love the design very much.
In the next post I will have details on fair and shearing pictures.
Until then...
Fiber on.
