Today is a well-deserved rest day for the cyclists. I have been using the time away from the telly to start to catch up with a few bits and pieces. I also managed to watch the first part of my carding DVD and have lots of ideas to try out to improve my carding tomorrow.

I weighed and measured my first yarn of the Tour:

There is 133g, and 492m which should be plenty enough for a pair of socks. I haven’t decided on a pattern yet.

I also did a bit more knitting on the re-knit of the simple Faroese shawl I am making.

The re-knitted yarn is looking a bit uneven, but hopefully that will come out in the wash.
