My goal was to get 400 yards of fingering yarn. Well, I got 418 yards of something closer to laceweight. On the one hand, I'm happy that I got over 400 yards of this. I'll have to check, but I think that's the most I've ever spun from 4 ounces of fiber. On the other, it's thinner than the project calls for, so I'll have to make some adjustments.
It needs a good wash before I try knitting with it. The indigo dye is still rubbing off a lot and my hands get quite blue from handling it.
Up this weekend: I need to buy candy for the trick-or-treaters and do a few chores around the house. I need to look at the organization of my craft room and see whether I can fit in a few more things. Some of my stuff is stored in the Daughter's closet. I think she might want to be able to hand up her clothes when she moves home! If I can find a home for my plastic soap mold, that would help a lot!
I'll leave you with a picture of this morning's sky. Supposedly, there's a rain storm coming in.
Oh, and Jane, this is for you:
Oooooohhhhhmmmm * 3
