ta da!
It's yarn! I made it! These are my first two skeins from the Louet kit. The first one is way more irregular and fat than the second. I used the park-and-draft method for the second one instead of trying to draft as the spindle was spinning, because that takes more coordination than i'm ready for. But maybe someday.. Or maybe someday I'll just have a spinning wheel, which I think is more like park-and-draft because I could keep both hands on my roving. Tomorrow I'll wash it, along with the hooded sweatervest that needs blocking (and blogging). Hopefully this is enough for a hat! Maybe earflaps.. I'm trying to decide if a raggy, unstructured hat would accompany the uneven wacko yarn well. Maybe a seedstitch border on the flaps and hat.. yes...

what if you accidentally blockinged your blogging? what am i sayinh?
i just stumbled across this yr blog and wanted to say that your yarn is awesome. since this is more than two years old, i wonder how your spinning is going. the person who taught me to spin once said "no no, enjoy the blubby yarn. once you learn how to make yarn that is uniform, you forget how to suck at it. people pay a lot of money for yarn that looks like it was done by a beginner". i wonder if this holds true.
