New Year's Eve cast on. Handspun sweater!
FroggyMonkey:
Handspun for my sweater yoke.
FroggyMonkey:
Handspun '15. Goal was 12 braids (48 oz). I spun the equivalent of 36 1/3 braids!

Ugh! Knew I should've done the citric acid dye set on this, but I've never done it on handspun.

Top two yoke choices for my handspun sweater. Want to at least cast on this year. #handspunsweater2015

Diving into a pile of handspun to pick yoke yarn & yarn for a gift knit.

Plying a little here & there. Disappointed I spun the bfl too thin for my sweater. Hold it doubled maybe? The rain brought in some much needed cooler weather! Handknit socks, jeans & Larch cardi.
FroggyMonkey:
Plying my gales art natural bfl & I spun it too thin :( It doesn't match the natural brown from this summer. Grrr!
FroggyMonkey:
The mystery ball of fiber from kitm '12 is crap! I had a hard time dividing it into 3 & it kept pulling apart. Started to spin & it's what I would imagine spinning cat hair would be like. Tossing it :(
FroggyMonkey:
Ready to ply. After that, I can start my handspun sweater! Which was my big knitting & spinning goal of 2015.
FroggyMonkey:
Finished my second braid of natural bfl from gales art for my handspun sweater. Spun a little each night this week. Good stress relief while listening to an audiobook.
FroggyMonkey:
Spinning for the first time in probably a month.
FroggyMonkey:
Destashing the Hansen.
FroggyMonkey:
Finally finished the first 4oz of natural to go with the brown bfl from gales art. #handspunsweater2015
FroggyMonkey:
Monkey wants to help.
FroggyMonkey:
Ready to skein. So disappointed I ended up getting less than 1,000 yards from 12oz. Took so long to spin and ply too, I was so hopeful I'd get 1,100-1,200.
FroggyMonkey:
Plied! 12oz 3ply. Off & on today from 8am to 10pm. My bobbins weren't even though, I have leftovers in two. Hope to get a sweater's worth from it.
