Yesterday was my Birthday

 

i took it really easy, nice food, nice wine
some chatting and hugging with my guy
some watching tv

and some knitting, not much, but i couldnt do without
i worked out, it takes me 6 minutes to make 1 square
the whole 2 meter lenght is made of 40 half squares, so the first row has 39 squares – just about 4 hours for it …. uff
and i will need 800 squares !
so working without break, 8 hours a day, it would take me 2 weeks
but – i want to enjoy it, and its perfect for enjoying, its a brainless knitting, goes really easy and smooth
so i dont rush myself, and have no clue when i will be finished

and some spinning, it just had to be
its the 3rd bobbin of my future angora 3 ply.

and followed the steps of the lilac BFL i dyed and spun ?

i still wait on a day, with sunshine, me awake, and my hair not standing in all directions, to make a foto of the top worn with the skirt *sigh*
