All in a Weekend's Work

I have been busy this weekend I have been spinning and knitting and all of the fun stuff and I have finished the Ponchito that I started on Thursday. I really think the fringe took almost as long at the knitting itself. The Specs: 300 yards Recycled Sari Silk 75 yards each of 6 different yarns. I used various novelty yarns, a fur yarn, a confetti yarn , a rayon yarn, a cotton yarn , and a handspun yarn. #13 needles I started on Thursday night and I finished it on Sunday night and seamed it up yasterday and I love the way it looks. On the spinning side of things I spun a plain superwash about 63 yards chunky weight. For some reason this picture did not come out as well as I would have liked, but here it is anyway. I also Spun 4oz of Blue faced top and I love the way it tured out I call this colorway "Blue Jeans" I love working with this fiber. It is spun up fingering weight singles, and I like the way it turned out so I decided not to ply it with anyother fiber. I came out to be 237 meters or 259 yards.
