Getting my skates on

Well I've finally finished spinning and plying Nightfall only to realise I'm probably a good 100m short of what I need to knit the Vermont Shawl by Hanna Breetz.  Thankfully it has a) ended up a little thicker than I'd intended, at about 16-18wpi, making it a heavy laceweight and b) Sara at Sara's Texture Crafts has some more of the blend in stock.  Whilst I would have preferred to not be joining skeins mid lace, I think there are a few sections where I can make it invisible without resorting to the thicker patch made by a russian join.  Photos will follow once I've got the skein dry and re-measured to see what yardage I've lost in the finishing process.

The project I need to get my skates on with though is the In Dreams for my friend.  That self-imposed deadline of the 20th is looming very large now!
