It was so warm yesterday that I had to hose off Shad after our ride - he was sweating like crazy. Marie was over, getting a shoe put on her mare and told us we weren't fox hunters cuz our ride was too short! Guess we gotta work on that fitness thing.
I plied up the Corriedale singles and it looks like it's going to be a lovely two ply laceweight. I will wash it today and see how it looks. Now working on my first three ply - it's a lb of alpaca/merino and so far shaping up to look pretty nice. I am pleased. I did a bunch on it yesterday, but it's going to take several days of work.
Still working on the Motheye shawl for Jen - it's going to be spectacular! Last night, I made my first ever wine reduction sauce. I put in 1 1/2 c of red wine, cooked it down, added some blackberry preserves, a little bit of chili powder and 3 T of butter, whisked it until smooth and served with pork chops. Yummy! Not too shabby for a first time!
And reviewed some stuff for my class. What a busy gal am I!
