It seems that I will always end up with a small part of my business being custom work.  And when someone asks you to crochet them a manatee, well look at him…..how could I refuse?

Due to a small snag at the studio on Saturday(we blew a fuse) I was not able to work on my dyeing day.  This meant I spent the entire day spinning singles.  They definitely qualify under the 355 Project, and more so now that they have been kettle dyed….I didn’t want them all to be white….So yeah for me…6 more yarns under my belt and back on track.

Most of these yarns are between 115-125g and 100-115 yards which means that my slouchy yarn over hat works perfectly for this and can be completed in the one skein.

While I am immersed in the yarning I am trying to deal with a terrible heartbreak.  Our middle cat (yes we have 3) is very ill.  While waiting for the results of tests and sneaking in as many cuddles as I can, I am gratified to be able to spin.  It’s keeping me grounded and hopeful.
