Spinning: Began plying SPAKAL! 2 full bobbins! Jumbo bobbin started! WEE! I also made some fauxlags out of one of my recently acquired batts to get it ready to spin up.

I acquired the Verena Knitting Summer 2011 magazine. It’s a great one!

Talked about the group that’s crocheting sleeping mats for the homeless in my county out of “plarn”. Awesome!

And, talked about spending some time airing my stash out, organizing, and finding an old FO that I just frogged!!!
