**Warning, this post will keep you up! I have been yearning for a project that has no deadline. Something where I can pick up a spindle, create any yarn and knit a project that I can wear whenever and wherever. One of my goals this year is to actually get around to knitting a few projects this year that have been in my Ravelry queue for a few years. Specifically the ones "made" for handspun. Like the Morning Surf Scarf, Hitchhiker, Wurm, Simple Yet Effective Shawl, and all the amazing handspun fingerless mitt patterns out there (not to mention the million shawl patterns in my queue) Right now the one I'm thinking about is the Helix Scarf by Stephanie Gaustad. My friend Deb knit one of these a few years ago with her handspun. It's simple, beautiful, and just what I'm looking for. I was looking at the projects on Ravelry and this one really caught my eye. If you are looking for spinning with shawls in mind, just join this group! Looking for crocheting handspun? Here you go :) And if that's not enough... look at the projects/stash of Marihana Now you can see what I'm talking about! Add a few projects to your queue now? YEAH! Now you can understand how I feel haha. Which projects are you thinking of starting this weekend?

Thanks for the mention, Susie! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. No new projects for me this weekend, but I'm hoping to finish my Raven tapestry and perhaps return to another abandoned weaving.

I could mention you in every post :) You taught me everything I know! Can't wait to see what your next weaving project is as your Raven is lovely. I especially like his wing
