Langfield hats! I cast on 2 of these, one in  Trekking XXL (frogged my Fork in the Road Socks) and the other in Swizzle Alpaca. I'm loving the modular construction.

Spin me 'round!
Emily - Back on the Polwarth about 0.5 oz
Karla - Finished plying Caliope's Fibre Triple batt with a single of black alpaca from Sierra Vista Alpacas. With the extra alpaca I experimented with a Navajo ply. She might use this to make ghost dance by beth whipkey. Thinking about spinning my Muse Fibre Works braids and plying them to maintain the gradient this way.
We mention how much we like Emily's Echo Flower Shawl by Jenny Johnson Johnen

Design features
Emily- did stockinette knitting on garter stitch sleeves on Top down garter stitch baby jacket. Frogged and restarted Schponcho because I know I forgot increases.
Karla- Frogged the Fork in the Road socks, would really like to knit this pattern in a self striping yarn. 

Best laid plans
Emily-  Viajante, spin and join tour de fleece (Team Sasquatch) might spin some Romney fleece, cloth diapers, maybe some new project bags
Karla - Busy/Quiet book for baby. Frogged Itineris then did a citric acid soak to set the dye. Tutorial compliments of the Knitmore Girls. Karla will run #FoolproofKAL Starting July 12 - October 12
Karla is thinking of doing some more designing. Keep your eyes peeled!
