Not quiiiite the yardage I was hoping for, but it's so pretty I don't mind. Too much. Two-ply 484 yards prebath. "Rascal" on 50/50 Merino/Tencel by @fatcatknits.bsky.social. It's a rainbow gradient that will run from purple to red and back to purple. #handspinning

Check this beauty! Had to take a pic in all its rainbow-y goodness before filling it on up. And the two bobbins (yeah, that's not chain-plying!) I piled together were spun months apart and STILL came out within two yards of each other. That's like winning the spinning lottery. 1/ #handspinning

The spare drive band had arrived, but then I was too avoidant to try the re-melty-spliced one until tonight, and - surprise! - it didn't hold, so in less than five minutes I put the new one on and we have spinning! (holy bob was the old one stretched out) I will learn nothing from this #handspinning

I made soap! (And of course there's a funny story about it. I'll try to do a blog post later. And then share said blog post. L to R: Strawberry Guava, Dragon's Blood, Oatmeal, Milk, &Honey, Lavender Vanilla Patchouli.

Major progress on the vest I'm knitting to get the needle free so that I can knit on the project I started because I couldn't spin because the drive band splice didn't hold (have I tested it since re-melty-splicing it? Of course not, don't be silly) #knit #knitting #handspinning #adhd

Saga: so last night while I was letting the melty-splice set, I found a knitting project to do. Huzzah! But, I was eventually going to need a size 11 needle, and there was none in the size 11 zip pouch. I know perfectly well I have plenty of size 11. 1/

Whoops. Spoke too soon. Band is melty-spliced again, and spare band is ordered.

Good news, everyone! While I still haven't found the third braid to unlock my brain and let me spin on the Hansen, I have braved up and brought out the Majacraft that DOES have something in progress. #handspinning

Couldn't decide what to spin. Knitted hats instead. (Actually, I did decide on something, but inventory and my own brain says I have three braids, only found two, so now brain is in some sort of neurodivergent temper tantrum) #knitting

So I think to myself, "I'm in a mood to spin; I'll just finish up what's on the Hansen." Nothing! Nothing is on the Hansen! Do you know what this means?! I now have to decide what to spin. #fiberworldproblems #handspinning

Whoops, forgot to show the sooper sekret completed knitting project. The ends were not nearly as arduous as my whining suggested.

Sooper sekret project is knitted! Now, the ends. 55 modules plus a border and a few skein changes = oof.

Sooper sekret knitting project is nearing completion
