The Ravelympics took a lot out of me. I not only knit my first sweater, but also a heavily cabled hat, a pair of man-sized socks, and my first laceweight & beaded wrap...all in 17 days! Since then, I finished up a couple of outstanding WIPs (works in progress) and found I was not really motivated to start anything in my queue.
What to do??? Get back on the wheel, of course...the spinning wheel.
So I have finally finished spinning my first singles (single ply yarns) on my spinning wheel. And last night I tried something new...I Navajo plied one of them. Here are some pics.
Roving that I dyed with Easter egg dyes last year (superwash merino).

I still have the other half to ply...but that can wait till tonight :)LOL
