That’s what I was thinking as I left the office today:
“I get to ply my singles!”
Walking to the train station:
“I get to ply my singles!”
On the train coming home:
“I get to ply my singles!”
Driving home from the train station:
“I get to ply my singles!”
Guess what I did as soon as I got home?
If you said “Well duh, you plied your singles” you would be correct.
Here’s a 2 ounce skein of my Black Welsh Mountain/Border Leicester mix:
While I (ahem) plied my singles, Lucy did this:
She really loves that mouse I knitted for her from my handspun. It’s starting to get quite ratty looking (sorry about the pun) so I think I need to knit her another one.
Thanks to Lelah for pointing me in the direction of the Woodland Woolworks spinning catalog for information on how to attach a drive band. I have this catalog at home, so looked through it and found the technique she described. The pdf with this technique is available here.
And Lene suggested that I Google “spinner’s knot” for a square knot with a twist that makes no bump, however I got no direct hits — a lot of information on anchors and sailing, though! If anyone can enlighten me, please do.
In answer to Caroline’s question, I’m spinning double drive. My wheel does have set-up for Scotch tension, but I’ve not tried it.
Scarfy Goodness
Cuz my AbFab afghan is too big to take as commuter knitting, I started a scarf, in Karabella Puffy, on size 13 needles:
It’s much prettier in person.
Did I wear Ingrid to work today? Why yes, I did!
