And so starts another week. It is Monday again. Is It me or does it always seem like it is Monday? Oh well. At least it was a quiet weekend.
I had a multiple spinner personality on Saturday wherein I spun three different fibers on three different wheels. First up was new fiber for the cpw. This fiber is the May-June SAL in the Starcrossed color way- Bfl iirc. I spun a little of it before inspiration hit that i should use the van eaton production wheel as a production wheel. For a while now I’ve been spinning a huge bag of processed cvm on the vermont wheel. I decided to give over the remaining several pounds to the VE. Sadly about half a bobbin in, my newly bum foot was complaining pretty loudly. I hope that this is a temporary unhappiness and not something more permanent.
The schacht has been empty for far too long so it was time to get spinning on that wheel as well. I went shopping in the stash and came up with this ITW merino blend roving.
Pretty isn’t it? I’m going to two ply this for a change.
So there you go, three wheels – three fibers in one day. Wait make that four. I finally got around to plying the two pounds of grey BL that I bought at Rhinebeck this year and spun on the VE. In the end I have 1280 yards of Aran weight that will become a Rhinebeck sweater of some design or another for this year 
Yesterday was turned over to the needles. I did a little dead project frogging on Saturday and reclaimed a number of yarns including this lovely lace weight merino that I started knitting a shawl with last summer I think (could have been the previous summer – must check ravelry to be sure). I repurposed it to become the Whisper cardi. I cast on after breakfast and here is where I start this morning.
I like!
Craft on!

Very nice colors in that fiber. Let’s hear it for productivity!
I have been purging some dead projects myself. It’s so silly to keep stuff on the needles that you know you won’t finish for one reason or another.

Dude! You go easy on that ankel, you hear me? Sure, you’re tiny enough for me to carry if I have to, but we live quite far apart for that kind of hands on intervention.
