Scuba BBQ and Spinning

Yesterday I attended South Orange County and Laguna Sea Dwellers BBQ at Heisler Park in BEAUTIFUL Laguna Beach, California.

It was initially a little on the cool side cleared up to a warm sunny day. Diving conditions off the beach are stellar right now with 30' viz. Sadly, I didn't dive. As I was gearing up, my battery died on my main dive computer. The upside is that I brought my Ashford Joy spinning wheel with me! Currently, I am working on spinning up an Alpaca/ Merino Blend. My Ashford Traditional wheel has straight Merino Top on the Jumbo Flyer.

Here are some pics of the day's events. Enjoy!

Knit, Spin, Knit, Spin, Knit, Knit, Knit

Oh my goodness. It's been awhile since I posted anything. I have been VERY busy the past month and a half or so. From knitting, to spinning, diving, camping, and even took a vacation to La Paz Mexico! That story to follow in another post.

Tonight, I am happy to get three projects OTN's!!!

I joined a KAL on knitting gloves/ wristlest on Ravelry the first part of October. I finished them Sunday, Nov. 1.

I finished my Moebius by Cat Bordhi on Monday night, Nov. 2nd. I could have had this done over a month ago, but had run out of yarn to complete it. In that I just needed a little bit to complete the project, I decided just to cast off. You can't even tell the difference that it was a tad shy.

Then finally tonight, I finished Fountain Foxglove Socks by Cat Bordi from the book New Pathways for Sock Knitters that I have been working on and off for the past year. This is the 6th or 7th pair that I have knitted from this book. I guess I might have gotten 'burned out' on socks, thus taking me so long to complete this pair! LOL

Currently, I am spinning yarn to make a sweater. I just completed spinning 1200-1600 yards of lace weight yarn that I plan on making a shawl that will be my first attempt at lace knitting.

Also new and exciting in my knitting life is the addition of 'Addi Clicks' to my knitting needle collection!!! I absolutely LOVE them!!! I found them on Amazon for $119... normally $160! They come in a beautiful travel case. I am very fortunate to have found them for such a great price.

Enjoy!
