Noni Bag Is Done!

I am so pleased with how this came out! I love it! The design is wonderful...and the flowers are so versatile....I envision myself using them to embellish other bags.














I've made a bit of progress on my Bertie scarf. I ripped out two rows to correct how I handled the beads and then proceeded to knit 14 rows. After looking at it, I realized I didn't like how the SKP looked - I'd used "slip as if to purl". So....I ripped it all out and re-worked it. This time, I used "slip as if to knit". I like it MUCH better!










I've finally made a little more progress with the Maple Leaf KAL sock - I ripped out both the versions on the size 2 (too big) and the size 1. The size 1 had the same issue as my Bertie scarf....I didn't like how the SKP looked. On this latest "re-work", I've completed 3 repeats of the maple leaf and am 1 row from completing the 4th one. It look soooo much better using "slip as if to knit"!











As for week 3 of the Summer Spinning Challenge.....I managed to get in 5 1/2 hours working on the coral Merino. I managed to start 2 more bobbins and plied a 4 oz. skein. Wahoo! This week's spinning is off to a very slow start....I didn't spin on Weds. or today. (I was busy with the projects above - so much to do! So little time!)

In addition to the Summer Spinning Challenge, I spun for 3 hours at my Monday night spinning group - concentrating on the blue multi-colored Merino for my mom. I really am a slow spinner.....I didn't even totally fill a bobbin in that time. In my defense, though, I do spin relatively thin yarn.
