Life and it’s happenings have been distracting me from knitting and spinning lately.

I did manage to get to the decrease section of my clapotis, but only barely. Hopefully I’ll finish it up this week sometime.
And I also got my blue roving carded and it’s in much better shape for spinning, and I’ve spun about half a bobbin of it.

And yesterday, I made some stitch markers. I made them for my next lace project I have upcoming, based on the tutorial from the Sticks and String Podcast blog. David said they don’t allow the yarnovers to travel and slip around when right beside the marker, so I figured I’d give them a whirl.

    This time of year, everything seems “blergh”. I’m with ya. And I have to say, I love my Claoptis, but knitting it up was a trial!
