Thank you, Ginny! It was some pretty fantastic fiber 😉

The fiber is 50/50 merino tencel in "Rascal" from Fat Cat Knits 2/2 @fatcatknits.bsky.social

I think glazed would be a good strategy for the next four years.

2/ which I was working on because I couldn't find the third braid of the fiber I actually wanted to spin. Today, I'm making soap.

4/ So now I'm going to finish the abandoned vest to free the size 11 needle so that I can continue the shoulder warmer while I wait on the replacement band for the Majacraft, and maybe in the meantime find the third braid. I mean, at least I have a plan? #knit #handspinning #adhd

3/ so I continue to look through other doom bags in hopes of finding a) another size 11 needle and b) maybe accidentally find the missing third braid. Did I find either of those things? No. But I did find this:

2/ and tonight, I dove into the loom room (not to be confused with the yarn room in the garage or the yarn room at the farm), and I found a project that I was using a size 11. Yay! But it had been abandoned because I misplaced the rest of the yarn for it.

I stopped working on it when the drive band broke and I had to melty-splice it, only I wasn't sure I did a good enough job, and I was afraid it was going to break again. So my solution was to not try it so it wouldn't break. Schrodinger's drive band, if you will.

When you're not chronically indecisive, it is. 😂

Not saying you need to, but bright colors overdye sooooo nice. I overdyed an I'm -never-going-to-knit-that bright yellow with forest blue-green and zowie. Also have not yet knit anything with it. 😂
