Part of what I'm working on this evening. I'll show you the rest of it tomorrow.

Yum.

We grew this strawberry ourselves (I know - it's a funny shape). I picked it after work today when I was watering my plants and washed it off and put it on the table. The sun hit it and when I walked back into the kitchen to collect it I could smell strawberries in the air. Mmmm. We each ate half and it was delicious. Sweet and flavourful as only a home grown strawberry can be. I can't wait for the next one.

Just an aside: Mohops just might be the neatest shoes I've seen yet. I discovered them today and I think I'll save up a bit over the winter and get some for next summer.

I spent some time trying to make sense of the piles of things in my studio today (and hoping I'd come across the sundress pattern I know is here somewhere). I was making good progress (the books are now on a shelf) but just as I was walking out to take a short break a bag of roving caught my eye. I grabed it and my ladybug and sat in the family room to spin for a bit.

Total yardage (pre-bath) is a little under 80 m and lets guess a bulky weight (110 g). Very squashy. Not sure what it will become yet but the nobbliness seams to lend itself to garter stitch. Maybe with a big wooden button.

I didn't bother to weigh the roving when I separated it. I just broke it in half and then tore each strip into quarters. I'm always hopeful that they will match up perfectly when I ply but I was surprised this time when this is all I had leftover from the longer singles - pretty close!
