Weekend Blather

Don't let the title fool you. It's Monday night and apparently I never posted this! It's been really busy around here. End of the marking period grades and a paper for my course ate up most of my weekend, but I did get to finish spinning and plying the roving I dyed last month.



I ended up spinning long draw and plying. The singles just didn't sample well for me. I have such a lofty, soft yarn - well, relatively soft, it is Romney after all. It still looks like good mitten yarn. I haven't counted yardage yet to see if there's enough for a hat too.



Conferences on Wednesday. That will give me some knitting time.

  1. Gorgeous colors in that yarn. I'm also thinking mittens for something I spun recently that's not supersoft.

  4. It never fails to surprise me how much spinning transforms the colors in a sliver. I love the yarn!

  10. You know what's funny? As soon as I clicked on one of the pics, I could have sworn that I could smell the shampooed, wooly smell with that citrusy undertone still remaining from the dyebath. Yummy . . .
