This past weekend, I redyed the dyed lace weight yarn. Am I liking the result better? Why yes I am. I can see myself knitting with the yarn, and it becoming something beautiful. Here's a picture of the yarn:
The picture still isn't quite right colorwise, but it is close. Imagine a little bit darker. Unfortunately when I re-redyed the yarn, I lost a bit of the pale purple that I really liked. But, I am still pretty happy with the yarn over all. :-)
What have I been doing on my spinning wheel? Well, I finished spinning up some laceweight silk yarn, about 30 wpi. This is the first true lace weight yarn I have ever spun and I am pretty happy with the results. Usually I spin fine, and ply yarn from fingering weight to dk weight, and if I push myself, worsted and bulky. I really have to concentrate on the yarn thickness to make the thicker yarns. But I am getting better at deciding to make a certain weight of yarn and actually spinning that weight up. Here's an image of the silk.
And speaking of lace, I am really enjoying the mystery shawl along 2. I did have to frog my clue 1 and completed clue 2 due to a needle joint problem (catching), but I quickly reknit the clues. Check out my very blurry image.
Well, it's back to work for me as lunch is over.
