I have started my fifth color section on my Summer Games Rumpus shawl. I squeezed smooth as much as I could out of my precious handspun angora. Only a few yards left.
As a brief aside, when spinning angora, if you are plying a single batch, and want to use the andean plying method, take some advice. Do not attempt on a hot humid day. I did and had the grandaddy of all tangled. Way too much of that precious fiber was lost.
Anyway, as Rumpus grows, I finally have Color Affection #1 on the blocking mats. Only problem I have with the shawl, it is a bit large for the bed. Even on the diagonal. The one end is slightly climbing the wall.
Now if it will only cool enough to wear it.
