Ugh, yarn bleeding is so frustrating! But the pink and purple are so cute together that no one will guess they weren't supposed to be that color combo to begin with. 💜

I get it, cat-kind has a reputation of dignity and refinement to uphold, and wearing a pumpkin hat could be seen as a serious setback in that regard. I hope the good Admiral can accept my apology for subjecting his brethren to such disrespect!

Agreed, it's very far outside my usual pallette, but it's bringing joy! 🌈

4 days of progress! I did a bit more after this and even though there's still room on the arms, I'm definitely feeling the extra weight, so it might be time to take off the cop and start again.

I think I would prefer a lighter spindle as well! I have another one that is about 28g, but it has a bit of a wobble (although I recently read some tips that might help). Still, this yarn is turning out quite serviceable, and I'll try for something thinner/lighter next time!

I did accidentally end up spinning it on the floor a few times, but even that needs work so I don't let the arms touch the floor. I'm sure with practice it will all get easier, and if not, I'll have to go shopping for a lighter spindle - not something I particularly mind!

Okay, I think I can see it... It does look like it could be snaggy though, definitely an interesting design choice!

Re-reading Snow Crash and waiting for my preorder of Queen Demon to arrive!

Hmmm... That was my best I guess. I agree the color is pretty perfect, so hopefully it turns out to be something useful!

The overall shape has me stumped, but is there a small blade inside the cutout for cutting yarn? Like this: katrinkles.com/products/hal...

It is Fleece Artist Merino Slim, in the color way Forillon Qc! I actually liked this one better in the skein than how it is knitting up, but it is growing on me...
