Remember this fiber?

It became these singles

Which turned into this plied yarn

I can’t wait to knit (something) with it!  I highly recommend Julia’s roving if you like well-saturated colors and wonderfully soft fiber – and who doesn’t? 

The knitting is finished on my Hexacomb Cardi.  I still have to sew in the sleeves and find buttons.  From trying it on in its sleeveless state…I don’t think it’s going to be a good look for me.  At my present weight.  Maybe sleeves will make a difference, I don’t know.  Either way, I like it, it was a fast knit and if it hangs in my closet until I drop some poundage, so be it.  I’ll call it incentive.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Mack likes to bathe in public.  Sick-o kitty that he is.

    Happy, candy-colored yarn. Gets me every time. Not spinning much at the moment myself but I’m wishing to…. :)

    Lovely! Just curious – did you then ply from both ends of the ball?
