Happiness by Kyle Kunnecke using Yarn Snob PowerBall in the colorway Happiness. I\u2019ve knit about 2\u201d of front armhole.\xa0

Spinning: I\u2019m still spinning the Manx Loaghton. I have spun 768 yards, or 15.2 ounces, of a 2 pound bag of roving. No work on this since the last episode.

Started spinning the two 8 ounce braids I bought at Black Sheep Gathering. A corriedale cross and 70/30 merino/silk. I have finished four skeins (two ply of each single) and have about 994 yards/9.6 ounces.\xa0

Finishing up spinning and plying yarn from a black Shetland. This fleece was purchased in 2017 at the Monterey County Wool show.

I plan to continue carding the Wensleydale X Cormo from Black Sheep Gathering in 2017. It was already washed and waiting to be carded or combed. I have about 9 large batts so far. On average the fiber is about 4 inches long and very fine. It isn\u2019t carding up like a long wool at all. The staple length is longer than the Shetland, but the batts are super dense and puffy like a cormo or a merino would be. I won\u2019t be spinning this right away since I need a break from spinning black yarn!

My next spinning project will be on the Wyatt Norwegian wheel. It\u2019s been stored in the bedroom under its cover for quite awhile now. It\u2019s time to get it out and start using it. The L\u2019il Herbie spinning wheel needs a rest and repair. I\u2019ve decided not to do it myself and will be working with our friend Stella and her husband Ron to get it professionally repaired.

Hats: finished the second CVM hat with an added stripe of some variegated leftovers to have enough yarn. Another hat is on the needles. This one is using those same variegated leftovers along with the brown targhee lamb handspun from my Dark and Stormy and some leftover Rauma Tumi, an alpaca and wool yarn in an acid green color.\xa0

I am also considering a blanket project for my grand nephew. But I don't know anything about Minecraft.\xa0 Minecraft Blanket

Kelly went on a camping trip to Casa de Fruta RV park where Vintage Camper Trailers was holding their Vintage Trailer Bootcamp. Robert took classes and Kelly sat in camp spinning yarn and spent time walking and training the dogs.\xa0

The weekend of August 20th is the Wool Show judging at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Kelly hasn\u2019t attended since 2018\u2013broken foot and then pandemic\u2026 She\u2019s planning to scope out some fleeces.\xa0

Started June 1 and goes until September 5. (US Labor Day) Less than a month left!
