52 in 52: Week 43

I blame the Harry Potter Knit Crochet House Cup on Ravelry
I'm a bit closer to "on track" with this hare-brained scheme, although I'm not convinced I'll hit 52, between work and school and my work assignment getting extended and extended and extended (which is an AWESOME thing).

Since I've finally figured out spinning, I'm counting yarns-I-make in my "finished object count" for the year. And I've been making yarn like whoa because (a) I can do it in the dark, which makes it movie-compatible and (b) I can do it even when my brain is mush from the over-tired.

Om Nom Nom
 My first useable yarn is a worsted-ish weight 2-ply merino/massam/silk blend that knits and warms like a bulky-weight alpaca.  (I spun the first 45 yards, then started knitting, stopping only to spin more yarn when I ran out.)
