Plying Deep & Meaningful

I knuckled under and spun my heart out. I finished the first bobbin of Deep and Meaningful and then this past weekend evening I watched a long movie and busted out the complete second bobbin.

I was so in the zone, I just crafted and no photos. In fact I was halfway through plying before I grabbed the photo of the two bobbins. It plied fairly well but I was right that my second bobbin was thicker and ran out sooner than my first bobbing. Too much time had passed and my ‘default’ spin has changed.

I’m not precious about my handspun so when I ran out of the first bobbing I just chain plied the rest of the singles at the end of the skein. I will either use it that way or break off the 3-ply from the 2-ply when I went to use it. I just couldn’t be bothered to change my bobbing for such a wee bit of yarn. Now this needs to rest and then a wash/whack.

Happy Spinning!!

Patio Spinning

I felt the urge to clear my wheel. I had half a bobbin of my Deep and Meaningful singles from early summer. PB wanted me to watch her play in the background so I pulled up a patio chair and spun while I watched an imaginary soccer game. She won, of course!

I still have a wee bit of this half of the braid and I can call this bobbin done. Using short forward draw this fiber is spinning fairly finely. I am hoping the lapse in time between the first part and this part isn’t too long so that my singles are different.

How can I invent more time in the day so I can do all the crafts at once?
