So, I wanted to see what the Octopussy colorway looked like spun up (and I need a project on the needles that requires no attention-simple socks it is:O) So, I took a 4oz braid of Octopussy split it in half (longway) then took one half and split it length wise again, then took THAT half (techinally a quarter now) and split that where the indigo dip was and split it into 8 strips....
I spun the 1/4 single up, and then the 8 split starting with the indigo dyed portion each time, then plied the two together for a fingering weight 2 ply. This is the results-I like it. Will start said sock tonight (though I am supposed to be off limits from knitting and spinning, I will go slow)

Also, used the Carnival Glass colorway to do some beehives and coils art yarn for a delicious fun scarf. Love how this one came out! Fun.
Kids are back in public school starting tomorrow. Mixed feelings about this, but I know in the end it will all be good. I will miss them, but I know I could use the extra alone time to get some work done and they will enjoy seeing kids their own age again.
