SPINNING
Before I left I was spinning like crazy to finish the white mohair. I plied it on Friday and got 2 balls of yarn, and now I can continue on my sweater. Now that I am using my own hand spun yarn I noticed that it kinks up on it's self to much. I must be over spinning it or have to much spin in the ply. I went on you tube and found several videos on plying. I was lucky enough to find one that showed how to check if your yarn was balanced. Lets hope this yarn is better balanced.
SWEATER
The back of the sweater is finished! I think that it might be a little bigger than I wanted. I am also worried about running out of blue yarn. I might have to punt when I get to the sleeves.
I also started one of the front pieces. There are three, 2 sides and one middle piece.
CROSS STITCH
I have been working on the grey roofs on the cross stitch. I am getting use to the magnifier, it is making things much easier to see.
