And then I did a few rows on the first sleeve of #msbslavarockandblossom.

100/100 What a great day to close out #100daysofknitting ! I spun almost a whole 4oz of Greyskull by spinning all morning and afternoon thanks to getting an unexpected ADBD. In the evening I finished the gusset and heel flap on #msbshallowerncupcake.

99/100 I started in on my Greyskull spin but didn’t photograph it. Instead, here’s my Halloween Cupcake sock now with 1/2 a gusset! #100daysofknitting #msbshalloweencupcake

98/100 The singles for Tuffboi are done a few days ahead of schedule. And I started the heel gusset on Halloween Cupcake. #100daysofknitting #tourdefleece #msbstuffboi #msbshhalloweencupcake

I also spun for a while in the afternoon, getting a big chunk of Tuffboi done. I also decided to pivot my TdF plans to be more Hello Yarn-y!#100daysofknitting #msbslavarockandblossom #msbstuffboi

97/100 I got an unexpected day off when the AC at work broke, so I got a ton done today. I established the body of Lavarock + Blossom is at the point where I need to block it before continuing, so it was time to start sleeves! I also wove in the last 18 or so ends.

An AC-is-broken delayed opening at work meant I got some stolen time to weave in some more ends on #msbslavarockandblossom

96/100 Three bobbins for #tourdefleece done! I finished up the parallel drafted singles tonight, and then started in on the to-be-chain-plied part. This Hello Yarn top is such a dream to spin! After the spinning, I worked on my Halloween Cupcake sock, which is getting very close to turning the heel.

I also worked on two different sock projects on my breaks, and did some Lavarock + Blossom after work.#100daysofknitting

95/100 I had to work the late shift so Day 3 of #tourdefleece needed to be more portable than my Matchless! I took my spindle to work along with a bump of Yarn Jam’s Electric Forest. I haven’t done much spindle spinning but it was so much fun!

Parallel drafting is holding two sections of the braid and drafting them together so they blend in the singles. In this case, I stripped the braid in half, then split one of the halves into three. Then one of those threes got split in half. I flipped the ends so that the colors weren’t lining up.

(I also did some colorwork on my popsicle socks, and finished the blue stripe on Lavarock and Blossom.) #100daysofknitting #msbstuffboi

94/100 (Pic credit @schnookichu) 4 hours of #tourdefleece spinning in the books! Day 2 saw me finishing bobbin 2 of the non-chain-plied part, and getting a fair amount of the parallel draft part done. I’m loving this Hello Yarn fiber!

93/100 I kicked off #tourdefleece with spinning 1/3 of the non-chain-plied part of Tuffboi. Then I did a bit of work on L+B and stated the colorwork part of my popsicle socks. #100daysofknitting #msbstuffboi #msbslavarockandblossom #msbspopsicles

92/100 I plied Excitebike and OMG it’s even better than the sky-high expectations I’ve had for it ever since Santa left it under the tree for me. I also prepped Tuffboi for Tour de Fleece. I cast on some popsicle socks. And I did a few rows of L+B, and wove in a few ends. An excellent day!

90/100 The back of the yoke is done and now I’ve moved on to the left front on Joe Cool. The green and blue parts were my favorite when I was spinning this year so I’m glad I’ll be able to really see them when I wear this. #100daysofknitting #msbsjoecool

My Rhinebeck Sweater is back on track! I also main squeezed Joe Cool after dinner. I plied two skeins of yarn, worked on my cupcake socks, and a hand spun experiment swatch. Saturdays are the best.#100daysofknitting #msbslavarockandblossom #msbsjoecoll #msbshalloweencupcakesock

86/100 94/100 Today was a big day! I was really sure Lavarock + Blossom was turning out too large (I’m using different yarn weight than the pattern calls for) but just as I was mentally moving on to a different project, I tried L+B on and it’s a miracle! It fits!

I also did some rows on my new sock project and also got the last little bit done on the first bump’s worth of Excitebike singles.#100daysofknitting #msbsbillionacrewoods #msbsexcitebike #msbshalloweencupcakesocks

85/100 Billion Acre Woods is done! L reminded me how to do the sewn b/o in a fraction of the time, so I had time to finish the ends (most of which were woven in already) and add the bear tag.
