I made sure to take pictures this morning of what I have been knitting on and also what I just plied. Then I tried to transfer them to my computer from my phone and they just did not go. Guess I will use my regular camera this evening and try again in the morning.
I had planned on knitting on the sleeves of my cardi last evening but then my spinning wheel started calling my name, and it just kept getting louder until I had to go see what it wanted. It wanted the llama plied that I had spun a few months ago. So....that is what I did last evening. I had hoped to have a picture to post today, but guess not.
I also took some baby camel, tussah silk off of the niddy noddy and made a hank out of it. I was going to take a pic of it but forgot. I had spun it for my DIL and I took it to her to show her last evening and she kept it to enjoy until we decided what I was going to make out of it for her. (My son said I needed to make a King sized blanket out of it. I asked, for a Barbie doll?) There is only 2 ounces so whatever it is won't be very big. It is probably spun at about a sport weight. My DIL had bought the fiber about 6 or so years ago and I just kept putting off spinning it because it was so slick.
I finally decided to just go for it and see how it went. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it also wasn't a breeze to spin. I am fairly new to spinning. I have had my wheel since March of 2009 but I have not spun consistently with it. I might spin for a month or two and then not touch it for several months. Not a good way to become really good at it.
Hopefully back with pictures tomorrow. :)
