I hope everyone had a wonderful, peaceful holiday today. Mine was quiet as usual. I don't know why, but, I don't feel like eating after I do all the food prep and cooking. My dear husband, Pat, helped with it all today so it much easier. Plus, I made less items and smaller quantities of some things. There still was plenty of left overs from 3 people and an 11.5 pound turkey.
In my knitting progress, I've managed to finish my second Breaking Hearts sock, and am currently working on my languishing, woefully deserted Ditto sweater. I've made so many modifications to this pattern, it's very loosely based on the original pattern now.
In my spinning progress, I've finished the FatCatKnits Dead of Night fiber.
A couple weeks ago found me at Eneri Knits Friday knit group. I came home with 2 braids of Frabjous Fibers in Chromatophia Red. This fiber is so far from my usual color choices but it spoke to me. I plan to spin it using the fractal method.
I've managed to spin about 3 of 4 ounces of some lovely Polwarth fiber from Cloudlover. It's for the Knit Girllls SAL/KAL. Originally, I wanted a fingering weight single, but, the yarn told me otherwise. It chose to be a lace weight single which means I will be Navajo plying it to maintain the colors. Here's a picture of the fiber. I had already pulled a piece off before I remembered to take the picture. It's called "Haunted Vineyard" and the colors are perfect for that name.

I'm going to spin a bit when I finish writing this. I hope to ply it this weekend. Knitting starts December 1.
