| Spinning and Socks |
Wow! I have been knitting with Kramer's bare fingering weight that I have dyed. This yarn is so stretchy that is has been hard to get the socks to the dimensions they need to be. I did a gauge but even with a gauge they aren't correct because of the stretch. I finally had to just try and redo several times to get them to be close to the correct size. I am hoping that I have them correct or I will have to redo them for my swap partner after she gets them and tries them on. I am not sure I would use this yarn again because of the work involved in sizing and since I am a typical OCDer, I have been really going crazy with this one.
Now on to the spinning. I have received to packages of roving and will get to them just as soon as I am pleased with my spinning results. Practice, practice, practice. |
