Hits and Misses

Yesterdays spinning was a bust. I had an image in my mind and it did not work at all. The finished product was not soft and looked like a disaster. I even ripped up what I did the first time and did it differently and still hated the finished product. Oh well, on to the next. This skein came out how I wanted. medium_roving_to_yarn_110.jpg This is Grrlie Grrl's big sister. It is a perfect compliment colorwise to Grrlie Grrl but bulkier. They would be great together in a fun scarf or hat and mitt set.

I was so bummed from my failed day spinning that I decided to knit last night. Of course that didn't work out well either as I through caution to the wind and did not swatch and what I started ended up way to big but it kept me busy and the yarn looks great worked up so I didn't mind ripping it out to start again as the finished product will look great.

More spinning tonight as I am going to do a thick and thin striping yarn that will be perfect for a hat that I plan to ply with something new that hopefully(fingers crossed) will work out like I want.
