Well I was spinning again Saturday and was a tad more successful. I think that I didn't have enough twist in last week. But I'm still not overjoyed with the result. Here you can see what I accomplished. I wouldn't normally have taken it off the spool yet, but it broke and I couldn't find the end. So.... I have a few very short skeins here. I have plenty of fiber to play with so I'll get it eventually!
This picture may give you a better idea as to how fine I was trying to get the yarn. Please remember I'm spinning on a Louet S10 which isn't known for it's lace spinning. It's more of a medium to bulky weight yarn wheel... go figure I try to do something that's really hard without a high speed whorl!
Here's absorba the great. It's about half done I guess. I'm itching to finish to put it in the bathroom. I tried it there when it was just a bitty square and the colors look great next to the tub! When I work onthe other one (the Lion Brand pattern) that one feels so wimpy in comparison. 2 strands 4 ply versus 3 strands 8 ply.... this mat is appropriately named. They are due for the get stitchy April Showers KAL tmrw... I know neither will be finished. Oh well!
I made something that I think I could use as a stitch marker this week. Let me know what you think! Of course you'll nees to turn your head to the side in order to get the idea!OK... I should hit the rack now that the yarn nest is untangled and on the skein winder. I'm really beat.
happy crafting
