 Laura  is working on the Out of Winter shawl by TamyGore.  She is using size 6 needles and knitting it out of some Koomasee BFL that she spun.  She also knit on a pair of Knit Spin Farm Targhee Sport Weight socks in Deep Woods Solstice Celebration on size 1 needles.  She has also cast on a foolproof out of some Hello Yarn patchwork kit handspun.

Leslie did all the finishing (hems, pockets, etc) for her reverse applique octopus version of No Hole In My Pocket. She also knit a pair of Better Dorm Boots using 4 strands of fingering held together on size 10 US needles.  She finished and blocked out of SundayKnits Eden 3 ply.

She also knit a baby vertebrae in the smallest size out of Dream in Color Classy.

Laura dug out some old singles from Fiberoptic and finished them (550 yards). She also plied the Hipstrings Base 12 (260 yards) and the Kim Dyes Yarn Good Times Targhee (620 yards). She also spun Wee Chickadee in the on my way colorway on Corriedale.
