Tour de fleece day 13

I have started on my second big project for the tour, 100g of superwash merino from Shunklies. The colours are lovely greys and blues with just the occasional hint of purpley pink. This photo in no way does the colours justice-

I am using my wheel to spin a thin single, I have saved half the fibre and will make a second single to ply it with. Hopefully it should end up commercial sock weight, although it may not end up as socks- after trying really hard to master avoiding overspinning during the tour this may be on the underspun side, we will see how it comes out.

FO Friday- Stone the Gargoyle

Another scrap down that was meant to be a quick way to sue up some yarn and ended up taking long enough to call it a full on project.

Pattern: Stone the Gargoyle by Devon Monk

Yarn: Regia 6 ply in grey

Needles: 2.25mm

Mods: I had to stitch his knees to his body to make them stay in place. He also has no wings as I ran out of yarn. I had intended to make some with leftovers from this year's Christmas socks, but I have bought brown and navy blue so no grey for wings.

This is a cute little pattern, although the all knowing world of QI (British TV programme) tells me that he is a grotesque not a gargoyle. Gargoyles have water coming out of their mouths. Or maybe it is just not raining!

There were a couple of points in the pattern where I got lost, but the wonderful world that is Ravelry helped me out.

He is now sat on the dvd shelf with the scary films, seemed appropriate.
