I am really very relieved to get back to the things I like to do. It is a different feeling to not completely dread each activity on my list. I made one helluva list and knocked out most of the chores I had to do so that I can relax and get back to doing what I like to do. Which of course involves yarn glorious yarn!
I have finally finished spinning my first two skeins of yarn! I am super excited. They aren’t perfect, but I don’t care. I am basking in the glow of my accomplishment. I really can’t believed something is completely done.
Witness:
I bought some roving off ebay (I wish I could remember the seller) but I do remember that the color of it is “Fruit Salad.” I think this photo shows its colors the best. As I was winding it, I was reminded that when I was spinning it up I was watching The Descent and Dawn of the Dead. I hope I don’t always associate those movies with this. I think that it is unavoidable though.
I forgot completely to count the number of rounds on the niddy noddy to figure yardage but I did remember to find the wpi. I have 7 so that means that I have some bulky yarn. I don’t have very much so I am not to sure what I can do with it. I have to figure something out; it’s a matter of principle.
This skein represents my first try at spinning. There are parts that are probably spun too tightly, some too loose, some broken and knotted, some absolutely perfect. For this one I know I got 50 yards but I forgot my wpi. I did it during my spinning class and as I recall it was bulky. eh.
Since I am trying to finish up things that have been started during the school year, I think I will attach buttons to Hot Lava. That, mis amigos, would be revolutionary!
