A little bit of knit, a little bit of that

Fiber mayhem! And some weather too.

TDF Days 5 & 6 July 9, 2009

Not much activity on the spinning front the past two days. I did wind off my spindle yesterday so it would be free to start the 3rd set of singles for the 3-ply Soul Windows yarn. No other spinning activites to report from yesterday. Instead I went out with my awesome friends to celebrate Ms. Knitpho’s birthday. Much fun, much laughter; it was great!

Today I looked at the first ball of singles that I did with the soul windows and was kinda bummed that they were uneven and not as thin as the second set. That first set of singles were the first that I had done on my new Bosworth so I guess they were part of the “getting to know you” process between me and little Bossie. I have just slight perfectionist tendencies so I went through and respun a good portion of that single, evening out the inconsistencies. I don’t think I will try that again anytime soon. Talk about slow and frustrating. But I’m done with that now so onto the 3rd ply!

Tomorrow I’m hoping to get back into the groove and spin the other 2 oz of Selfish. Next week my big goal will be to chew through (or at least start) my massive bag o’Finn.

This will be short because I am tired. Finished the first 2 oz of “Selfish”. Next up, the last 2 oz that have been split. Here is a progress picture of yesterday and today’s work.

No pictures today because my camera is on a fast plane to China. I tried to take a pic with my very lame cell phone. FAIL. So you’ll just have to believe me when I say that I’m in love with my Soul Windows singles that I did today on the Bossie. And I got more onto my spindle than I’ve ever done before! Two out of the three plies are now spun. Woot!

My parents will be here tomorrow so I’ll be able to commandeer the camera from them and take some pics. I’m exhausted after a long day with two very silly children so I think I’ll be casting on my second Monkey and vegetating.
