2850 yards

Wow, that’s a lot of yarn to wind at once. The Cherry Tree Hill was 2400 yards, making the biggest ball of yarn I’ve ever seen:

This is going to be a Follow the Leader Faroese Shawl for Mom. Actually, I’ve already started it and I’m a whole…11 rows in. :)

Follow the Leader

The sock yarn, Stitchjones Superwash Merino in the Dark and Divine colorway, was only 450 yards. That’s nothing! Except that my arms were already tired from winding the lace yarn. Heh. Here it is:

This is, I think, destined to be a pair of Charade socks. I have not yet cast on for these, but I will soon. I’m contemplating doing two at once on two circs…

The sun has finally decided to grace us with its presence, so I hope to have some nice FO photos later on.

I love that lace weight! It will so beautiful as a shawl.

I think so, too! I only have a couple of inches done so far, but I’m really liking how this yarn knits up. (The sock in that Stitchjones yarn is looking pretty amazing, too.)
