Finally finished my six-year socks! So relieved to have this project off my mind. The color in the pictures didn't turn out true but they are more of a dark purple than blue in places. The little cables up the ankle portion were fun to do (I love doing cables). Now on to finish more already started projects. I want to get the yellow bamboo scarf off my loom. I have several other warps already to go on so I can't wait. Probably not more than a couple weeks if I were to do it daily. I've got a hand-dyed warp called Autumn Leaves from Cotton Clouds, a yarn company I've bought from previously. Beautiful fall colors of gold, red, green and black, with a black weft. I haven't put it on the other loom because the loom sat in front of a window with direct sun in the morning. I finally dug out some old curtains (way too long) but hung them up anyway temporarily. With summer nearly here now I sure don't want to take a chance on any of my hand-dyed yarns and fibers to get sun damaged. Still spinning on the rose-rust alpaca/merino, but that's something I can do just about any time to relax. Off to a farm in north WA tomorrow with a friend to look at some raw sheep fleece. I don't like the smell, but she sure does :-\
