So what have I been up to?
Some Bruce:
Some BodyJam:
Some dyeing:
Some fundraising:
**This colorway: Fade Out Ovarian Cancer is available in the shop as a pre-order. There will be yarn too.
Some more Bruce:
Apologies for the crappy photo – Madison Square Garden is not as forgiving as the Wells Fargo Center. In other news, our next Bruce show is 9/2/2012 
Some kitty belly:
And some knitting:
How about you?
Really, how does a whole month go by? Wow. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
1. Knitting my cousin’s wedding shawl, which came off of the needles yesterday
Erika's shawl - purity from Roman 43
Lace detail
I dropped 3 stitches on the final row of the edging and had to figure out how to pick them back up and somehow managed it. If I wasn’t a Knitter with a capital K before this, I most certainly am now.
2. Knitting a baby sweater for my niece, Marisa who joined us on June 5th.
handspun boheme for Marisa
The pattern is Boheme (ravelry link) and it was a quick knit, done in 3 days. I love knitting with handspun, I love the accidental striping that happens. I see more of these in my future, they are a great way to use up smaller hanks of handspun!
3. I’ve been dyeing fiber like it is going out of style. Sharon and I are trying to get an etsy shop up and running and I’ll post as soon as we get everything in order 
But here’s a teaser of some of the Falkland roving I dyed:

I think I may just be addicted.
bagged up and ready to go
4. Finished two pairs of socks:
Zen toe-ups which took me over a year to finish because I hate the yarn (trekking xxl – a sin I know!).

and a pair of toe up monkey socks using yarn from my friend Debbie:

5. Some spinning has occurred but not much since I was focusing on Erika’s shawl.

6. And a ton of test knitting for the girls over at Crafty Detour. The next sock in the series looks awesome and I can’t wait until they launch their CSI series
Skinny Bugga! in Beyer's Jewel Scarab
I’ll be knitting this pattern using skinny bugga! for the first time. I can’t wait to see how it knits up and how the sock turns out. So far all of Heather’s patters have been lovely!
Hopefully I’ll be back in a few days with more to blog about!
