Same Old Same Old

I'm still working on washing all my handspun yarn.  I had a big bag and probably have 2 more washes to do.  I do about 6 yarns at one time so that is about 24 skeins to wash.  I haven't taken on any more new projects because I have SO many WIP that I need to finish.  I have a couple of Christmas gifts and would love to finish this shark scarf so hubby can wear it this fall/winter.



Needle: Size 4 Circular
Yarn:  Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids and Quatro Colors in Steel and Marine

I'm almost done these socks for hubby too.  Good thing he doesn't like long cuffs (not like my Father-In-Laws 7" of cuff Christmas socks).

Google Chrome Is The Answer

Well, when I run into a problem Internet wise I usually Google it.  I looked on the help forums on Blogger and someone suggested that I change to Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer.  It worked.  For some reason Internet Explorer and loading pictures on Blogger don't play nice.  Here is the handspun yarn I have to wash.  I try to wash them in groups so if the dye comes off it won't dye the yarn a different color.  I got about 6 washed and a bunch more to go!


Windows 10

I just upgraded and a like most of it so far.  At least I didn't lose the old Microsoft stuff I like to keep.  The Microsoft Work Calendar is great at letting you set appointments on a lot of setting which Google calendar doesn't.  Besides I don't want my Google calendar covered with my reminders to exercise every day.  Anyway,  I haven't posted on either of my blogs for a while since I can't figure out why I can't post pictures on Blogger.  I don't really like posts with just words but here is one for you now.

Great Mail Day!



This came in the mail today.  I moderated the Bee Mice Elf Tour De Fleece team during the Tour De Fleece.  Laurs sent me this 100% BLF Nile as a thank you gift.  I can't wait to spin it up.  Check out Laurs fiber here:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/beemiceelf

Trying To Get WIP Done

Now that Tour De Fleece is finally finished, I'm trying to get a bunch of WIP done.  I need to get a few WIP done for Christmas.  Here are some pictures.
