Currently (22-06-16)

Knitting... June Socks are finished! I am still working on my sweater Briquette by Alicia Plummer. I have both sleeves finished and I'm about half way done the hood. I'm hoping to be done this sweater within the next week or so.

I am finished a pair of thrummed mittens to send up to Nunavut later this year. I'm hoping the recipient finds them nice and toasty.

I started some projects to enter in some fairs this fall. Specifically, I am working on another Force Awakens hat, and I am going to try to make up a mitten pattern to match!

Spinning... Knit Picks Bare Roving. I have one bobbin plied, and I am hoping to do another one soon. I will then have 4 skeins for a sweater! I think I will probably need 6 before I dye it.

I also recently acquired a drop spindle. I have been spinning some purple alpaca-merino with it.

Crocheting... Crocheting has been taking a back seat lately. Someone asked me to make them a Dragon Ball Z hat, so I'll be crocheting that in the near future.

Reading... I am reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I haven't made much progress. Hopefully soon I will get some more motivation in the near future

Drinking... Smoothies! We found a magic bullet on sale a few weeks ago and I have been using it at least once a day. Do you have any favourite smoothie recipes? I'm looking for more to try, so leave me a comment!

Cooking... I gave a new recipe a try yesterday and it turned out okay. A little too much work for a regular dinner and it didn't really wow either of us.
