And Becky (dkKnits) over at her BLOG has been making tutorials about different ways to spin up your roving to get different effects. Lots of good info. Go check it out.
Still spinning up the practice cotton on my smaller spindle. LOVE cotton! But such a short staple. We are talking millimeters people, not inches like merino or BFL. Definitely have to keep your hands closer while drafting or like some people do is just pull off strips that are the same size so you don't have to draft at all. Somehow I drafted and am ending up with lace weight. I'm actually proud of it. :)
I know I need pics right. Well I'll get to that soon.
Life in a house with a 3 year old while stuck inside from a snow storm kinda sucks ****** ****. Yes i was cursing. We got about a foot and a half of snow. Very pretty but turned into ice last night so that kinda kills the gleam of things. And it froze up to soon to take Shade out in it. ;( Was still snowing till after her bedtime. SORRY KID!
Anywho, off to check my e-mail, etsy, twitter (shadyfibers if you want to follow) and Rav, then go down stairs to knit. I'm sooo tired of the computer.
