I finally wound the cop from my Kundert into a ball and plied it on the wheel. I remember spinning the single with extra twist but nevertheless I got a nice, loose ply out of it. Every once in a while I'd stop spinning to check the yarn and for the most part I was spinning evenly.
The test was when I released the skein from the niddy noddy. Surprise, it twisted on itself only twice! I'm quite happy with the outcome of this first skein. I'm looking forward to spinning the remaining 12 ounces.
The birthday quiz, seen everywhere, plus commentary:
| Your Birthdate: May 3 |
|
You are more than a big ball of energy--you are a big ball of hyper. I'm a little puddle of cartilaginous, mellifluous slack. Until you mention an awesome limestone crag with arthritis-inducing fingery routes. You are always on the go, but you don't have a Type A personality. No, definitely not Type A. The only time you see me move fast is the night before a camping trip, trying to pack 5 days' worth of stuff into my 4Runner. Instead of channeling your energy into work, you go for fun and adventure. Um, I'd rather not answer. A couple of clients read this blog. I'm *really* working on your comps. Really! Witty and verbal, you can have an interesting conversation with anyone. Only if it revolves around climbing. And knitting or spinning. Design, maybe. Wine, most def. Your strength: Your larger than life imagination. My 3rd grade teacher was wrong! Uh-huh, uh-huh! Your weakness: You tend to be pretty scattered. Whatever. Your power color: Lime. God, no. Black. I'm a designer, after all. Your power symbol: Lightning bolt. A mouse. Power over pixels!!! :-) Your power month: March. Wha'? |
| What Does Your Birth Date Mean? |
Listening to: Imogen Heap's Speak For Yourself. It's a really good album; unfortunately it's one of those copy-protected cds that Sony put out, which means you can't transfer its contents to an mp3 player, and the technology itself could open up your pc to viruses and other hidden programs. Vile, isn't it? Of course, there's a patch for it now. In the meantime, best buy it on iTunes.
I just found your blog last week, I'm thinking of joining the Norweigen Knit along...Anyhow, when I saw your birthday was May 3 I just had to comment....Thats my birthday too! Now I know, it's kind of corny, but I love meeting/finding people who share my birthday :)
beautiful yarn! i've never spun corriedale, yet another fiber i have to try.. what are you thinking of doing with the yarn when you've spun it all up?
Yeah, the birthday thing is really off on mine too. I like the shade of green that you have spun up.
I love that yarn!! the colour is gorgeous. And it looks so perfect and knittable. Sigh...
Oh, and you sound quite balanced to me! :D
