Yarn!!!

Had my 2nd spinning class. Yeah, completed my very first 2 ply yarn, fingering wt according to my teacher. I will post a pick on my flickr account as well as my Rav page. Of course, I have homework. I will be spinning 2 bobbins, 2 ozs each. I really have to invest in a scale so I can weigh my spun fiber. Hmmmm, will any scale do? I'll have to post that question or search that question on Ravelry.

Toe Up KAL

Wow! Having difficulting getting gauge for the first pair of socks in the Wendy Johnson's toe up socks KAL. The first pattern is pg 48. I swatched with a size 0, got 9 spi and gauge is 8 spi. This is the first of two problems. Suggested by the group moderator, I will go up to a size 1, swatch and check gauge.

Problem #2, I don't know how to read a chart! With lots of posts to the group and pm's to the author, I got help with that problem.

I'll be back with the update on my gauge progress. In case you didn't know, this will be my first official Rav KAL.

Look What I Did on My New Wheel!

I now am the proud owner of a "Lendrum". I purchased from Carolina Homespun while attending the MDS&W festival, 5/2-3/09. I have officially had my first spinning lesson at a LYS. I am now spinning what will be fingering weight yarn. My next class is on plying. Can't wait!
