What have I been up to?

It's a good question, seeing as my updates have been few in number lately. The truth is there has been very little fiber progress. The good news is that I think I'm finding my perfect sock-knitting gauge on the waving lace socks. I am still madly in love with Fleece Artist and definately plan to use it in the future.
I've only completed one pattern repeat, but it's still such a lovely sock:

The other thing taking my time lately has been the staining, finishing, and assembly of this beast. I just put the bobbins on their holders to snap this image. However, my hands (especially thumbs) are so sore from the assembly that typing is rather unpleasant at the moment. I think I'll let them rest a bit before I start spinning.
