Sheep to Shoe - Part 2
Part 1 here

We took the kids to the Ren Fest today and had a blast. Spent too much money and didn't buy myself a thing. So when we got home, Sid and the kids watched movies and I secluded myself in my craft room. I started to ply the singles that I'd started for my BMFA Sheep to Shoe socks.

And can I just say that I'm thrilled with Navajo plying? I think I have found spinning nirvana. I spent a couple hours plying and was just so ecstatic that I had to share it with someone. So I showed my pretty results to Sid and he said, "Doesn't look as smooth as the yarn you buy".

Grrrr.

So. Not. The. Point.

It's pretty darn even actually. And even though I do love how barber poled yarn looks...check out that gradual progression of color! LOVE!

Funnily enough, just as I was about halfway through my single...I was thinking about how much I wanted to take some photos when the single broke. I wasn't even disappointed. Just thought, hooray! Can take photos now!

Oh and I so want to cast on right away. But I'm trying to decide if I should wash it first.

Who am I kidding? I'll probably cast on tomorrow while listening to the Yarn Harlot in Wichita.
