Aaaand... we cross the finish line! 24 skeins finished, a total of 2140 yards, about 45 ounces (not quite 3 pounds) and lots of fun. Now, a short breathing space before the Ravelympics.
In the top half of the layout I put the 10 skeins from the first week of the Tour, all of which were 3-ply with each ply a different colorway.
These are the 12 skeins from the second week; 2 plies of one colorway mixed with one different colorway. There is also one little N-plied skein of the leftovers from colorway 4. No 2 skeins have the same makeup. The 5 colorways are 1. Classical Copper, 2. Trademark Infringement Caution, 3. Olympic Flame Orange, 4. Bronze Age, 5. Ancient Embers. Now I'll need to figure out a nice way to construct the sweater with a gradual progression of the colors.
I'm pleased with the N-plied Targhee skein. Maybe I'll make another shawl-I-never-wear with it. Or maybe a baby sweater, or socks that would have to be hand washed.
Here's a closeup of the "novelty" spinning. Cat, all 15 yards of it, and the BFL/silk singles on the Kuchulu, still in progress. I have a lot more to spin on the Kuchulu before that project's finished!
And one last shot of Bradley. I'll probably put my spinning aside for a bit and focus on quilting and knitting. I didn't actually start anything new on the wheel since yesterday, but I'm wondering whether my next project should be hemp or one of my wool braids.
