Summer Knitting

I've been knitting a little bit this summer. I started this pullover

with the merino I spun. I was going to do a sock kal but I couldn't get the gauge it's a microgauge 10 st.=1 in. I tried a couple of different yarns and didn't get it, so I gave up. The kids have been coming over and swimming alot, it's been pretty hot. I did get this spun colonial spun and left it in singles. I'm either going to use it for socks or maybe a Faroses Shawl.

I'm in a Swap on Budget group,it is so much fun. We are only suppose to spend $20.00 but that is really hard to do. You get a person to spoil and the only real requirement is they get 1 skeinof yarn and 1 handmade item. I haven't received my box as of yet but I did send my spoilee her box, just waiting for her to get..I hope she likes it I sent her some home spun yarn, the fiber in the picture above is it and I plyed it with some dark Burgendy Merino. I thought it was kinda pretty my daughter really liked it.
