Spinning off Jenn's porch
I can spin about 10' of yarn over the side. Not shown: Sookie, hiding under the porch, waiting for the spindle to get down to the bottom so she can bat it again.

8.7oz of yarn.
I was really happy to get the yarn off this spindle.

52:04 The cop is wider than the spindle
Lat time I weighed it, the spindle and cop together weighed around 9 oz. I don't want to break up the plying ball if I don't have to, so I'm just going to keep piling the yarn on.

Plying progress
Argh, darkness by 4:45pm means that I have to photograph things earlier. I'll have to remember that. Anyway, I've been plying Ma's yarn, doing a 3-ply and getting a just-barely-DK weight. I think it'll bloom a little after finishing, though, and I can be sure there will be enough. I weighed this spindle earlier, and it was 7.7 oz. Not counting the weight of the spindle, which I handily printed on the whorl (yay, me!), that's 5.3 oz of yarn. Whew!

52:02 - It will grow up to be a sweater
Over 40 oz of yarn (each TP roll holds at least 1 oz, some hold more, and the spindle has 2+ oz on it) that will become a 4-ply yarn for my mom's sweater. It just occurred to me that the recycling guys will probably wonder why I'm suddenly throwing away 37 TP rolls next week.

365.018 - A farewell to feet
I love this yarn (Koigu, a gift from the lovely Wen), and I love my new Knit Picks Harmony sock needles, but these socks don't want to be plain stockinette. The next time you see this sock yarn, it'll be sporting some nice lace, I think. Or maybe it'll be mittens. No, it's so soft and sproingy. Socks.

Stitchy
This is the purl side of a kitty pi I'm making from very greasy wool. It's like knitting with candle wick. It smells divinely sheepy.

7 Days, Day 7
Day 7? Already? Really? Well, this is pretty much Day 1 all over again, except now I'm spinning yarn and watching hockey (IIHF World Junior Championships). I had a good time this week, and a Merry Christmas, and hopefully everyone else did, too. Thanks again, Sarah and Lauren, for starting this tradition!

Bought years ago from their (can't find it anymore) ebay store. I aired it out today, then took a stash picture for Ravelry.

Stinky yarn, hanging out in the breeze
I bought this yarn several years ago on ebay. It's really sheepy, very greasy, and it's been sitting in a ziploc bag for over 2 years. I'm airing it out while there's a good breeze.

20 oz of wool!
Well, 20 - .16 for the toilet paper rolls is 19.84 oz of wool. Subtract the 6.6 oz that were spun up last month, and that means I spun 13.24 oz of wool in September! Go, me!
