Using Sock yarn but it's not a sock.
Using the stretchy Cast On I use for all my socks, Old Norwegian CO (aka German twisted CO).
Knitting from the bottom up but it's not a hat.
Adding straps.
Finished knitting the Ripple Bralette by Jessie Maed Designs, I followed the pattern as written.
This was my test knit to try out the pattern before I invest in using my next-to-skin soft yarns and modifying the length for a longer top.
Finished spinning the Inglenook Fibers Snowy Owl Sticklebatts. Started the spin March 2nd.
Fiber spun on Bosworth spindles: (L-R) Dogwood Skinny Midi, Hickory Midi, Ambrosia Maple Midi, and Lignum Vitae Skinny Midi.
A box of fifteen Comfort Scarves and one Shawlette packed and ready to be dropped off at the Post Office tomorrow.
Easy-peasy and super simple to print and pay postage labels from home, that is, if you have a scale and a printer. I use Pirate Ship software and order free Priority Mail large boxes from USPS.
Tomorrow I will pick up more scarves from Spinners' group and add them to the half-filled box almost ready to go.
It was odd to see the cats standing on their hind legs looking out the garage window.
I didn't see anything when I went outside to check but I will close and lock the windows tonight.
We hired Gaspar to weed whack the property again this year. It took him a total of seven days over two weeks to work the entire property. He does such a thorough job he leaves nothing but dirt.

I know it has to be done but the goats and I wish there is just a little bit more green.
Today I baked for our monthly Guild meeting in SLO.
Pecan Tassies
Lemon Squares
(It will get a good sprinkling of powdered sugar tomorrow.)
I gave out 11 Scarf kits today at Spinners' and Little Looms Group and received 10 completed scarves, many included donations for postage. Drop off/Pick up, it's a weekly thing.
The Handspun 7/1 Lace scarf has been:
hemstitched,
cut off the loom,
fringe twisted,
and wet-blocked.
Lastly, when it is dry, the fringe will need to be trimmed.
Still working on the Wedge Weave Sampler. Weaving left to right diagonally requires a bit of figurin' and it stumped me silly for a couple of days. That is, I didn't know what I was doing.
Fortunately I talked to Diane about Wedge Weave breaking my brain and she heartily agreed and said, "Wedge Weave is hard!" We reassured each other that we would one day (soon) figure it out.
After mulling things over I did come up with one idea: I drew a horizontal line on the warp to set a boundary.
It sounds simple but it took me a couple of tries (weave, unweave, weave, unweave) before I drew the line and started weaving again.
Into the Whirled April 2026 Club Colorway "Kitchen Confetti" Corriedale sheep wool.
It was time to recycle my well-loved t-shirt, you know, the one with the holes.
It is going to make a great little mat.
