Finally! A Project to Work On!
 When I joined this group, I went thru my stash to see what I already had spun up.  I came up with one skein, single ply between a lace and fingering weight.  It was from BFL that I dyed and out of 4 oz, there are approx. 706 yards.  I have been looking at this skein and also looking at patterns to see what I wanted to do with it.  Then I read Stephanie's post mentioning the MysticWatersKAL and it was an "AHA"  moment.  I just loved the name of the shawl and the color of the skein seemed to fit.  However, I need around 1200 meters.  So...once again I dug in my boxes...( you have to realize, I made a recent move to a new state so a lot of my stash is still buried in boxes).  I not only found beads which will match but another ball of roving that I dyed at the same time.  Serendipity!!
 This is my skein already wound and the roving I have yet to spin.  If I spin to the same thickness as before, I should have a wee bit more than needed.  Keep your fingers crossed!  I am really looking forward to knitting this shawl!  I'll keep updates here and on my blog.  I am fortunate to have found this group.  You all provide great inspiration!  Thanks!
Happy spinning and knitting,
Lee aka BAAbins
