An unlikely development
I went to a friends house today to spin yarn for the first time since last year, when she taught me the basics on the wheel, which her husband built. Amazingly, I remembered how it went, and the creamy wool looks terrific on the bobbin. I’m fairly sure I’m going to be knitting these singles into a lace scarf one of these days–soon. It’s really nice yarn, just as it is. Eventually I’m going to spin fine 2-ply laceweight, but for now I’m happy with my singles. I’m glad about it also because my son has really been wanting to try the wheel out, and now that I have refreshed my memory I can get him started
On the knitting front, I’ve made progress on my MS9 and have finished the second chart on the mandala shawl and moved into section 3 on the veil of Isis. It’s nice not to have deadlines and downtime between pattern sections. After working on the KALs this way of working seems to go much faster for me. Who needs sleep?
