Spinning Tragedy

I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I have no excuse. So let me bring you up to date.
Since I have to have more than one project going this blog may take a bit. First I finished those lovely Zig Zag Socks in some old Elann Sock it to Me collection yarn. Although I don't recommend it because the pattern doesn't really show up well. I'll make sure to have some pictures up soon.

Now I'm working on this gorgeous cabled Irish Hiking Hat designed by Nicole Reeves. I'm doing it in teal and I think I'm going to give it to my drum line instructor. By the way we beat Dundee! Squeal! 

 

These socks are really beautiful but I'm already having difficulty with them but I shall not give up on the prettiness! These are the Cimorene socks designed by Becky Greene. I wonder how she came up with the name for them?

Last but not least is the Diamond Waves Hat designed by Kaleigh McLelland. My dad has promised me a trip to the yarn store tomorrow to get yarn for this. The yarn in my stash isn't quite right for this project.  It's going to be my first fair isle project it was recommended for beginners. Hope I can figure it out!

Now for the Spinning Tragedy I mentioned in the title. As some of you may know lent started yesterday. I made the most giant mistake of my life and gave up my spinning. :( These next 6 weeks are going to be rough. Who am I kidding! It's already dreadful. I welcome support. 
I'll post a picture of the bobbin I was working on before lent started. It's this beautiful hand painted merino blend from Spinning Hill in Bainbridge, NY.
