Help! What to do?
We had a few warm summery days already and there’s nothing more I’d like to do on those day then sit and spin to my hearts content. A little top here, a litte batt there, slowly but surely I produce some beautiful yarns.
But then…what do I do with them? The yarns are piling up and nothing gets knitted up. It’s not that I don’t like to knit with my handspun, I most certainly do (I mean look at them! Who wouldn’t love to knit these?). It’s just that the yardage varies between 80 – 90 yards and there’s only so much you can do with that yardage. I love playing around with wool when I’m behind the wheel. Sometimes the yarn I spin is thick and plump, sometimes it’s thin and sometimes it’s crazy. Spinning it is easy, but finding a project that will show it off seems impossible sometimes!
The gorgeous blue one is about 160 yards but everything else is around 80 – 90 yards (Aran/bulky weight)
So, what do I do?
I know!
I have that 600+ meters of BFL/Silk I plied with silk hankies, waiting for a project to go along with it. Too much for my average scarf/shawl needs, not enough for a light cardigan…
I hate when that happens… maybe some really rad headbands, neckwarmer, artsy neck adornment?
LOL, I’m just glad I’m not the only one having a problem with picking a project to go with the yarn. Maybe we are doing it totally wrong, maybe we should pick a project first then spin the yarn? (like that is going to happen any time soon, I like playing far too much :lol:)
