Something about spinning

The first half of my green tour de fleece prize is spun.

I failed miserably at making it thick, it is a little thicker than usual maybe, but it was meant to be much fatter, ah well, it is obviously what the fibre wanted. I appreciate that anyone who does not spun now thinks I am lunatic with no control over the fibre in my posession. People who spin will hopefully be nodding in agreement and it is not that I am a lunatic after all!

I have to confess that it is a little thick and thin, my drafting skills obviously need practise so I am trying to think of a lovely giant spinning project for next year once the sock making crazy is done. A blanket or a sweater are most likely. Perhaps something like this Spinning in squares blanket. If anyone fancies joining me we could do an enormous spin/knit/rescue each other from the crazy along.

Sorry, I wandered off a little there, back to the fibre in hand. I am hoping plying evens out the thick and thin somewhat. This week I will start spinning the rest of the fibre and adding the beads, I suspect this will be a much slower process than the plain single.
