Oops. In my excitement yesterday I failed to actually say anything much about the knitting project that the pattern sample was for. This is for my second City and Guilds project, and will be a jumper with set in sleeves and a round neck. I am going to make it slightly A-line to fit me better.

Katya had an excellent idea in the comments yesterday about using stripes to blend the colours better. I will definitely be doing some colouring to try this out and see if I can make it work for this project. Once I have measured my stitch and row tension I will know how many rows I have to play with over the length of the jumper, and so how many rows of each colour.

There has been a very small amount of progress on the spinning. I have started on the white Dorset.

This is surprisingly different to the grey Dorset cross. The white is very crimpy, and the yarn I am making is quite fuzzy but not as hairy as the grey.
