I am spinning some yarn for myself. The samples are on the smaller side, so I am plying the wool with a llama silk blend yarn that I bought for a weaving project that will never happen. This will give me twice as much finished yarn. I have to use the yarn for something. It might as well be me. Hopefully this will give me enough yarn to make a small shawlet. I am in the middle of plying the third mini skein. I have a great rhythm going. First I spin the singles for three bobbins. Then I ply those three bobbins. I will use my 1 yard knitty noddy to skein them. Yes, they are very small skeins, but not small enough for the knitty noddy that I use for my drop spindles.
After I finished spinning and plying the entire set, I will divide them up by color ways and wash them in small batches using Soak Wash.
There will be no pictures tonight because the antibiotic for my sinus infection has hit my tummy very hard today. I spent most of the day resting. I am half way through a 14 day prescription. Therefore my knitting/ spinning room is very unorganized.
Also my knitting hit awesome tonight. I found 2 dropped stitches in a black section of a shawl that I am knitting. I was able to fix both dropped stitches so that I can’t find the repair work at 12 inches. I have come so far in my knitting I used to rip out something like that now I just go to the row and fix it without have to rip out hundreds of stitches.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
