Something I'm also going to miss is my spinning time. I didn't do much knitting during my leave, first because I didn't have the energy or the attention span and then because it was too difficult to try to keep track of where I was in a pattern. Spinning was much easier to do because I could start and stop very easily if the little one needed some attention.
I finished one last yarn this week, and it's a beauty, if I do say so myself. I started with 4.2 ounces of superwash merino from my favorite fiber pusher, Kristin of All Spun Up. She usually doesn't name her colorways, but this particular color combination was hugely popular on the ASU Ravelry board and was dubbed "Goldfish Wearing a Tutu" by one of the spinners. Lucky for us, Kristin was able to replicate the colorway, and I was fortunate enough to find a braid of it in the shop.



The good news about going back to work? I'll have some regular knitting time again (during my lunch hour), so maybe I'll finish something. Like, for instance, the Citron I cast on for yesterday at Natural Stitches with my handspun BFL singles.
