Yarn Along
So my sweater is coming along. I have about 6 rows of garter stitch and I can bind off the bottom and pick up the sleeves. I'll get to that tonight for sure. So I am right on track. I think I should have enough yarn. The only thing that may hold me up for a bit is the fact that I haven't been able to find buttons that I like. I found a few on Etsy so I need to make a final decision on that today so they will arrive by next week. I didn't even bother to take a picture. Imagine a big black/grey blanket with some holes for arms. Just a big lump which is not photo worthy at this time.
This, however, is photo worthy.
My Teal Toes ended up being 320 yards of fingering weight yarn. I really wanted to chain ply it but I had a bad feeling that I would lose too much yardage. I was right. It was so nice to spin. I spun it on the fold which I had never done before. I will definitely be ordering more of this in another colorway. Unwind Yarn Company is amazing.
The colors look a bit washed out for some reason. It must have been the lighting. I haven't soaked it yet. I will get to that this week. No rush I guess because I won't get to knit it for a while.

Beautiful handspun! I'm so excited to see another spinner. :)
I'm very new at it and right now just trying to get the hang of plying without being over or under spun. Chain plying is the next method I want to work on.
So beautiful! Socks? It looks very luscious.
Gorgeous handspun! It may be too nice to hide in shoes; that lovely yarn should be shown off!
Ohhh it's gorgeous!! I can't wait to see what you end up making up it!
you do such lovely spinning!!! I know you will finish that sweater on time and I'm going to say you'll have enough yarn (aren't I a positive one?).
You are so talented! That yarn is just yummy looking...one day, maybe, I'll learn to spin, too. But for now, I'll just admire the gorgeousness of yours. :)
You are just amazing Donna. I have sat here for awhile just gazing at your yarn, it's beautiful, really and truly beautiful.
I would love to learn to spin my own yarn, but there is no one around that spins and while I learned to knit from the internet, I'm not sure about spinning.
oh, Donna....that handspun is gorgeous!! i simply don't need another hobby.....but I'll continue to ooh and ahhhh over yours!
Your handspun is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your sweater and the buttons you choose.
I love your handspan yarn.
Lovely yarn. What a neat hobby. I certainly don't need anymore...but who knows!
