I’m not sure about the whozits and whatnots regarding the yarn (i.e., the chained singles & different #’s of ply’s), but I definitely like the top photo best. The colors are more pronounced and I want to crawl into it. Yeah. We like :)

And like we sisters tend to do, I have also enlisted the help of a personal trainer. Although I am not going to be working out with her, because we are doing a trade out – sweat for tans, basically. So right now I have to write down everything I eat for two weeks, and we’ll go from there. I can tell you that even before this started, I have ceased eating white flour, white sugar, and carbonated bevs. And anything made with the previous three.

I’m still gaining weight.

ALL your yarn looks GREAT!!! It has got to be such a feeling of accomplishment to be able to say you knit with yarn that you spun yourself!! Congrats on the “boot camp”……I SOOOO need to join you….Middle age has hit!!! UGH!!

Great spinning! I’ve been working on my Navajo plying, with better success thanks to the inspiration I got from your blog! Good luck with “boot camp,” too. :)

You’ll love working out with a trainer!
Thank you for showing the differences. I like the way two ply looks with the barberpoling but you don’t really see that when it’s knit. For lace two ply is best (you want a flat, not round, fiber) but other wise it’s probably best to do three ply.

I vote for the chained singles. Pretty both ways, though. I did some spinning recently and am looking for another color to ply with. Maybe green? with pink? maybe not?

I like the three ply the best – I prefer stripes to the barberpole, but that’s just me!
Good luck with the boot camp. I have been having moderate success with Weight Watchers, myself.
Then again, I watched that Fat Rant on YouTube, and it makes me wanna run around eating alfredo in a halter top and talk about how sexy I am! :-D
