I was there with a toddler who had better things to do, so I grabbed 1 of 2 books I could find (it must be a very popular subject, since most of them were checked out).<br />The picture on the cover looks like what I spun last night! It's the same color exactly. Weird, huh?</p>Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986218699355396417noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29956123.post-44082495438553969702007-03-15T21:26:00.001-05:002007-03-15T21:26:51.774-05:00FlickrThis is a test post from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/r/testpost"><img alt="flickr" src="http://www.flickr.com/images/flickr_logo_blog.gif" width="41" height="18" border="0" align="absmiddle" /></a>, a fancy photo sharing thing.Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986218699355396417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29956123.post-71463923302443761132007-03-14T23:01:00.000-05:002008-12-11T06:02:34.748-06:00<div>Here's what the yarn that I made looks like all knit up on size 17 needles:</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041996510566282562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaCSdDQ3dBQ4ZQSEjJHfN41SMmTlOlirOes6az_Gmkk4x8-g7KOHeKOopKN96_xcVpDW2_WCsostKE4qBfvpk5jbVgG_s8EbSRUun2taMuoK5yhFFTKiq8KtQG7r4fxYiiV3HZ0g/s320/yarn+004.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div>It's really scratchy. Toward the top it's more even, because that's when I started to get the hang of plying.</div><div>More elaborating per request of mom--making yarn is really easy. First you take some fluff and tie it to a thing that looks like a top. Then you spin it around, and twist up the fluff, so it's tight. Then you wrap that around the bottom of the spindle. After you fill up the spindle or get bored, you unwind it, and roll it into balls. To ply the yarn, you take 2 of these balls and put them in coffee cups and put the end through the handles. You tie the ends back on the spindle and spin it in the opposite direction and let the 2 strands wind up on each other. Yay, string!</div>Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986218699355396417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29956123.post-3177678309847587042007-03-14T00:00:00.000-05:002008-12-11T06:02:35.420-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXgKE2NND8jrOFgL87s9hjARbmbKfWk3Skc3z61V9qM16hjvvwmRuk1W-3pdwj-4-fqesw0bjAX2irt_ueIRTfUhZ9wJKhXwti6H5kNwqfOMRkyWrVLR24QFipt6f68wxSWBv-Q/s1600-h/yarn+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041641037598029106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXgKE2NND8jrOFgL87s9hjARbmbKfWk3Skc3z61V9qM16hjvvwmRuk1W-3pdwj-4-fqesw0bjAX2irt_ueIRTfUhZ9wJKhXwti6H5kNwqfOMRkyWrVLR24QFipt6f68wxSWBv-Q/s320/yarn+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041640934518813986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRJ4_Hkoyloe53G1KV0KQm4q0KOgRjFJtMTCMwdIg1dmH3f2LahzPekvv5RrvBU0K_t4My1id8YTH-1nlBpoIloXqUDpTpQb2ld68PjImiHBU4MFZqPkLtWESPsowTSPsE6nyAA/s320/yarn+001.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><br /><div>I made yarn!

It's a nice sock. It fits. I like the colors. It's not going to get a mate though. I don't think I have enough yarn, and I thought it was kind of boring and tedious to knit. I'll try again to knit some socks for N, but I don't understand the big sock knitting excitement. <div> </div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEissDmEtf0vp8Ujuao2yKm9jCpTmQ0YNPPhOunMbRqtjWO07sSgTZ9Oa45A30a-wX3ybyr8Smx-bgc_Ps5IDixlelUzTYxENzfDhAXaTckIjec3lfbI-NoVw7wJXP_vMZWRnbtm4w/s1600-h/FebMarch2007+139.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040801809578325218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEissDmEtf0vp8Ujuao2yKm9jCpTmQ0YNPPhOunMbRqtjWO07sSgTZ9Oa45A30a-wX3ybyr8Smx-bgc_Ps5IDixlelUzTYxENzfDhAXaTckIjec3lfbI-NoVw7wJXP_vMZWRnbtm4w/s320/FebMarch2007+139.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div>Here's how I knit now with the baby in the sling.
