Lisa Kay Knits... and Quilts!

Of course, Day 11 was a rest day... I have plied Longest Night. It is 1250 yards of dk-to-worsted weight, pre-bath. The photo is pre-bath, too. After its soak, it will likely be heavy worsted or even aran weight. I'll post another picture after it is washed and dried. Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

I posted "TdF Day 9" with my morning bobbin, yesterday, but I spun quite a bit in the afternoon and evening, too. Mitchell saw an advertisement for the fourth Ice Age movie, and he decided we needed to watch the first three movies in an Ice Age marathon. I moved my spinning wheel to the living room and spun another bobbin and half. This morning, before work, I finished up the second bobbin since my last post. Thus, I have the fifth and sixth bobbins done as my progress report, today! Tomorrow is a rest day! Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

Fourth bobbin of six done: Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

Finished my third bobbin of six... Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

I slept pretty late, today, and it took bits of time all day to get my next bobbin done, but I did get the second of six bumps of Longest Night spun. Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

We're going to Six Flags, today, so I got up early to do my daily TdF spin and documentation. This is about three hours of spinning. It is the first of six bumps of the Southern Cross Fibre Cheviot, "Longest Night." I showed the roving and fauxlags in this post . Today was the first of six bobbins. I'll ply three bobbins at a time together to get a three-ply... I'm going for a result that looks like this , which is the sample of the same fibre, spun by David, the dyer. Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay

I plied all three colors of HY/SCF Shadows Half Seen last night and this morning. It is 365 yards purple, 546 yards brown, and 720 yards green. Happy Spinning, Lisa Kay
