Finished shawl. Need to block, but it is nice. Still have Daybreak and Evenstar shawls on the needles. Really need to get them done. I don't think I will be able to finish the Knitgirllls stash dash, but will give it my best.

This project took 3 days and 270 yards of my pretty handspun. It was a delight to knit and wonderful to watch the colors come out. I love this shawl and the yarn.

Finished second 4 oz of Tempted BFL fiber in the colorway The Knit Girlls. I got 274 yards. I will be casting on the Age of Brass and Steam as soon as I get one of the three shawls I am working on right now off the needles. I really love spinning. It is so much fun.

5k Dash

I am getting ready for the 5K dash knit/spin along. It starts on the 27th of May and goes until August 15th. I am really hoping that I can finish knitting and spinning 5468 yards of fiber by then. So far I have my Evenstar shawl otn that will count if I finish it in time, also spinning up fiber. Tour de fleece also runs in that time frame so that should help my yardage.

Also exciting news I am going to Sock Summit and have 4 classes. I am so happy. Can't wait.

Now on the diet front, not losing not gaining just staying the same. Really need to find my diet mojo again. Every time I think I am doing right, I lose the mojo and go wrong.
