| Spinning |
I have been spinning sock yarn or at least trying to spin it. I believe that I have the correct thickness for a 2 ply yarn. I'll know more when I go to knit it up.
Whats on my wheel right now is my second attempt at sock yarn. The first one came out fine except it isn't as soft as I expected. I am going to try washing it in conditioner to see if it helps. Pictures later. |

| Monkey Socks Again! |
I had to tear out the Monkey Socks because they were way to large on size 2 needles. I noticed that others had knitted them on 1's too. Does this mean they are suppose to be knitted on them?
I had most of the leg already done when realizing that it was way to large. Back to the drawing board hopefully for the last time. |

| Yeah! Lady Bug Spinning Wheel Arrived! |
My spinning wheel arrived on Thursday. It only took 15 minutes to put together. I love it! I am trying to spin singles for a 2ply sock yarn. We'll see how it goes. I haven't been able to get the right size for the singles yet. I can spin fairly even but can't quite seem to gauge the size I am going to need. I guess more practice is in need.
Will
Just keep spinning, spinning, spinning! |
