Skeined

As predicted, my niddy noddy arrived while I was out today. I’ve assembled it and skeined off the Cheviot so that I can ply some more tomorrow.

I also re-skeined the poodle, which now looks rather less poodle-like and altogether more ~~normal~~ ordinary. It’s certainly not a good example of spinning and plying, but I rather liked its characterful disposition.

I am thinking that the poodle will make a nice contrast brim on a hat knitted from a more sensible piece of spinning.

Tomorrow is spinning day. I’ll do some more Cheviot, I think, after plying off what is already done.

G gave me bad news on the way to Kirkwall today. I have to get my Show entries on on Thursday night. Let’s face it, that sock isn’t going to be done in time. On the way to Kirkwall, my glasses fell apart - making knitting lace just a little more challenging than usual. I managed to do 4 pattern repeats on the boat on the way home, but nowhere near enough got done today - more important things got in the way.
