Spun single 100% BFL
I've learned that I prefer to spin dyed roving. I picked up some Yummy Yarn roving at Three Bags Full on Sunday, and I am loving them. They are all BFL - my new favorite fiber.
I admit that when I said I wouldn't let spinning interfere with my knitting, I may have been less than accurate. Spinning has taken over my life. I am now one of "them". I have joined the ranks of the annoying knitters who have purchased a wheel and now spend most of their time talking about spinning. I'm sorry to all the non-spinners. I know how annoying this is.

After Navajo Plying - Another View
I feel very similar towards spinning as I do sock knitting - I started out wondering why on Earth anyone would take it up, but once I tried it, I was hopelessly addicted.
Last night I dreamed of Navajo Plying....

It looks really pretty - I love the colors! What are you going to knit with it?
No apologies necessary. I think it's really great!!
I rest my case.
But the colors are beautiful. What are you going to knit with that yummy yarn.
You remember knitting don't you....heheheheh
Welcome to the club. ;o)
Don't worry about the next step yet, I have baskets upon baskets of handspun for which I have no plan. Welcome to the world of 'handspun stash' *grin*
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I have to get pix up of my new Kromski. I've got the fever too!
Glad you are enjoying the new baby! Your spinning looks great. (Figured you were spinning up a storm!)
I think I'm going to try navajo plying the singles I'm working on now. It's a neat technique, and I'd like something thicker than the fingering weight I'd get with a two ply. We'll see if I can do it without breaking the singles too often.
Oh Chrissy - I remember that feeling when I first started too. My wheel has been sitting lonely and bereft in my living room for far too long. You've inspired me. Time to oil her joints and spin!
