7/4 – 7/5:
Batt Spin #1 (e-spinner)
G-Cat and Pi batt paired with a random batt I made at some point. 1 ply of the G-Cat and 2 plies of the OOAK.

G-Cat remainder, chainplied
3.5 wraps; 4 gr./ .2 oz.; 5.5 yd. unsoaked; xx yd. soaked
Also on 7/4, on my Traveler I started a 50/50 Black Alpaca/Silk braid that I’ve had forever from Dyeabolical. I didn’t get far into it before I realized I was not going to enjoy it. Something about the alpaca was really bothersome for my hands. 🙁
7/6 – ? :
