I finished spinning spinning the singles I’ve been working on this morning, and the plan was to start plying this evening. Oh my goodness! What happened to the zen of spinning? I’ve already had three breaks, just when I thought I had this chain plying thing down. I’m stepping away from the wheel.

superwash merino singles

But the singles do look pretty. They are sitting on some material I picked up today while running around. I’m really loving brown and blue very much lately.

So I guess I’ll be working on the lace tonight instead of plying. Which really isn’t a bad thing at all - I have so much further to go still. Awhile ago I calculated that I would need to complete at least 3 inches per day to finish in time. Three inches takes me about three hours - yes I’m behind a bit.

Now Hurly has me crying again…

    Very pretty singles! Are you Navajo plying them?

    I love Hurley. Tonight did not disappoint.

    Your current spinning looks a lot like my current spinning…weird.

    Very nice spinning! I do find that the Zen comes and goes. And I don’t know who Hurly/Hurley is either — a TV-show character, I gather. (I never know these things.)
