Californian has been in a drought, so when it started raining this morning, I went out to spin on the porch.
Am I spinning skeins? Not likely! At a rate of a hank an hour, that is a mile of lace-weight worsted single every 3 hours. I do not stop spinning and start plying every few hundred yards.
When I need 5-ply, I pull 6 miles of lace-weight worsted singles of the stash and I ply enough to make a sweater. With the takeup from the ply twist, it comes out about right.
If this weather keeps up, I might get a good bit of spinning done.

Hello. I have been looking for a wooden knitting sheath and I really like the one you shared on your blog in 2011 for a trip to yellowstone. I would love to have one but the link to your shop on Esty doesn't seem to work. Do you still sell knitting tools on Esty? Thanks, Sandy
ReplyDeleteI moved to blunt tipped knitting needles and discovered that blunt needles are much less fussy about their knitting sheath(s). I decided that when using blunt tipped needles, knitting sheaths are so easy to make that anybody could make their own.

Now, that I seem to be past Lyme, who knows what I will do?
I think the Net Loft in Cordova AK may still have some that I sent to Dorthy.
