I finished a pair of socks for Tom. The yarn was purchased at TLE during the Spring Fling.
Stats:Yarn: Lorna's Laces Sport Team Spirit Colorway 6
Needles: Addi Turbo Lace Size 1
I have some handspun yarn to share, too. The first is from some roving I got in Milwaukee a few weeks ago. No name on it, but it's a bit like Lopi. After washing this did soften up a bit. I have approx. 400 yds.
Second is from some roving I bought during my trip to St. Louis. It is Enchanted Knoll Farms roving in the Carmelita colorway. I have approx. 270 yds. This yarn may become a pair of fingerless mitts. It is extremely soft. 
I am really enjoying spinning on my wheel. I have a lot to learn and it takes practice, but that is what to expect when starting a new hobby.The kids are anxiously waiting for the end of the school year. Their last day is June 4. Maggie has a lot of plans for the summer. She's going to Oklahoma with a friend in June, playing volleyball in a YMCA league, going to volleyball camp in July and to Camp Manitou the end of July. Then on a kayaking trip to the Apostle Islands through church in August. Grant will be working, going to summer school in the mornings, and trying for his driver's license the end of June. Patrick doesn't have many plans, but I'm sure we'll keep him busy swimming in the pool and hanging out with friends.
I'm off to work on my sock yarn blankie. Happy Knitting!!!

Looking good with the spinning!
I am so jealous that you can spin so well. I tried once and couldn't seem to get the hang of it. I'm thinking I need a class so someone can show me, I seem to learn best from watching someone else do something.
Thanks also for your kind thoughtful words on my blog. I really appreciate it...and am happy I now have another blog to read...especially one with knitting!
