There are two finishes for this week, and one very close. Starting with a hat for Rachey as a thank you for not giving me Covid. It's true that everyone reading this also hasn't given me Covid, but Rachey sat next to me all evening, and then tested positive the next day. I was fine. Thanks: here's a hat.
Then I plied the yarn I'd been spinning. I LOVE how it looks, but it's only 150 meters. Which doesn't surprise me, since it's 3 ply and quite dense. It also feels like spiky rope. It felt pretty spiky before spun it. That's what I get for buying fibre marked "crossbreed".
I did learn something about dyeing: the fibre was originally laid out folded in thirds - so the colour pattern repeated three times. I'm going to get some undyed fibre and do the same thing, although probably to dye a rainbow. Then I'm going to super dilute the colours and dye some for the main colour. yes, I'm planning / dyeing / spinning for Waiting For Rain again.
My final (near) finish for the week was this little hot water bottle cover. It's for my boss and I've only been knitting it at work, and I suddenly had a dearth of meetings otherwise it would have taken a day or two. And I thought I was going to get it cast off today, but then work got busy. No worries, I'll finish it next week.
