Today I finished plying 3 mini skeins of hand spun yarn. I used the drop spindle instead of the spinning wheel because it gives me a better yarn. By this I mean a more balanced twist. It is so much easier to control the twist.
I also made a concerted effort to catch up on my back log of making dog pillows. I made 6 cases. I stuffed 5 and pinned them. I left 1 by my squirrel cage for all the little bits and pieces I get when caking yarn. I also cut the fabric for 2 more pillows.
After all that hand work my hands were just too tired to knit tonight. Sometimes I feel like a beginner in knitting were projects took months instead of days. I have about 2 more ounces to knit. I hope to be finished by Mother’s Day. I am really ready for my hands to be better.
