Finished Project!

I finished my stealth project this evening, a submission for the Handwoven contest, 'Not Just for Socks'. As usual, I was at the 11th hour working on it to get it done in time... last night I completed the weaving, late afternoon today I finished twisting the fringe and then washing, drying... nearly... (if truth be told, it's still slightly damp, but it was dry enough to do the photos). It took me nearly an hour to submit it through the contest form because the pics from my camera created files too big for their requirements. Geez I wish there were some standard sizes that people wanted that would make that part easier... what a time sucker to resize images, test, upload, find they are not right, repeat ad nauseum...

Anyway, here is a brief glimpse of my Antigua Bay Shawl... all out of sock yarns. Even if it's not accepted as an entry, I love, love, love this shawl. The drape is luscious! I can really see this a a wonderful wearable.
Now back to working on my shell, my hoodie, my socks, my 2nd bobbin of SOAR fiber spinning, my remaining 3/4lb of other SOAR fiber I'm spinning, my mittens... there are more. If I think about them all, I won't be able to work on anything!!
