In which I examine exactly how much knitting and spinning I bring on trips, figure something out about my Lendrum and continue to not get much technical spinning done, go on and on about cashmere for Level 4, start the wedding shawl and finish the hand towel, get the Auto Knitter apart, and forget about the Accolade for two weeks. Thanks for listening!
