Around this time last year, I started the Tour de Fleece and ended up giving it up halfway through for some silly reason (like, I found out I was pregnant and was completely freaking out, along with having the first trimester tiredness and nausea kicking my butt). This year, as a completely confident, serene, and centered new mom (HAHAHAHAHA) I’m going to try again. I’ve scaled back to what I feel like I can reasonably complete with an almost-4-month-old in the house. I’m not joining any Ravelry or other groups, I’m just doing this as a personal goal for me.

I’ll be finishing 2 in-progress fiber projects and starting a new one. Clockwise from top left, we have some superwash merino that I dyed in crazy bright colors. It’s intended as a 2-ply worsted weight, and I’d like to use this for some kind of project for Griff, maybe a Baby Surprise Jacket. I’m over halfway done spinning the singles for this. Next up is the merino/tencel I started spinning on my wedding-gift-from-Jag drop spindle during our honeymoon back in October. I’d like to get this finished up and maybe knit someone something gorgeous and lacy as a Christmas gift this year, since money will be a bit tight for a while. And last, some of my hand-dyed superwash Corriedale (I think I called this colorway Koi Pond or something similar) that I’ll probably spin up as another 2-ply worsted for Griff, since it’s superwash. It would also make some nice socks, so I’ll need to think about this before I start.
