spinning yarn, and editing words

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

spinning yarn and editing

It’s been one of those weeks where I had no interest in working on fixing a fair isle project. I didn’t have time to sit down and focus on it, plus my brain was just not going to click into a project that complicated.

So I pulled out a couple ounces of merino spinning fiber, and my trusty spindle. I have about 50 grams each of the bright-aqua, and the royal blue. I split both colors in half, then spun half of one and half of the other into one single. And plan to do the same with the second half. Then I’ll ply them together into a heavy laceweight 2-ply yarn.

For me spinning projects are always a nice light project that I never have to think too much about, or plan too carefully.

Shawl Geometry Book Three edits continue. Though at this point many pages are being straight up rewritten, and I’m starting to wonder what I’m going to do for a photography background once I’m finished.
