Yes, I am fairly impressed with myself, thank you very much. By tomorrow I hope to have it finished and a start on the other one. Happy.
More fiber news: remember the hideous mohair? Well I got it plied. It looks pretty nice. One more bag to go. AND there is a challenge going on at my
favorite yarn shop to create a skein of novelty yarn, which I did.

Guess what the novelty yarn is??? A couple of years ago, one of my students brought me a bag of fluff and asked if I could spin it. I told him that just about anything could be spun and asked him what it was...tee-hee...the stuffing from a baseball! I found it recently at the bottom of the cedar chest and decided to spin it up. It's plied with some wool pencil roving that's been sitting around for eons. Ta-da! Novelty Yarn :) The best part? I used up two things in the chest that were just taking up space. Two down, 399,999,999,998 to go...
