I wanted to take a my nice lace alpaca project to finish, but somehow it didn't leave home. Here I am in Hawai'i with no knitting, so we had to get something to keep me occupied. This isn't the yarn I wanted to use for this project - I've spun but not plied the yarn I need. I just need to keep going and complete the project to use the blankie on the plane rides home.

Made this a few months ago - my first attempt at stranded knitting. Pretty inconsistent as far as tension goes, but provided practice with a new technique. Maybe someday I'll make a second and someone can wear them!

I currently have 1220 yds of green and 668 yds of purple Cheviot singles, but I need at least 240 yds more of the purple before I can begin plying and knitting. I'm sure I can do that with the fiber I've dyed, but it would be nice if I could get more, a lot more.

I finished knitting these a week or so ago, but needed a photo to share. This was my first go at gloves, I think I learned a few things so that the next ones will be better. Still, they're completely functional!
