Making Monday: Striped Tribbles
On Thusday morning I made a bit of a last minute decision to grab a set of tribbles from Gourmet Stash and an empty spindle and bring them to knit night. I needed a break and I realized I had been working on my Follow Your Arrow KAL almost exclusively for the last few weeks.
Working on fiber in my favorite colors from a shop I really enjoy. What better way to take a break? So by the time knit night wrapped up I had finished two tribbles and after chatting with another spinner who was there for the night, decided that chain plying each color to get a striped effect would look great.
By friday night, I had started a second spindle as I had chosen my spindle with the smallest whorl to get started on. I also had finished all but 2 1/2 of the tribbles. This was going quite quickly.
By Saturday I had wound the entire thing into a cake, and was ready to start chain plying.
And by the end of Sunday Night. Before they put out the torch in Sochi, I had 132 yards on yarn on my Noddy waiting to be soaked and set. This makes it my fastest fiber to yarn project, and the only project I finished for the Ravellenics as the KAL derailed all my WIP plans. And it will be an entry for this round of Nerd Wars.
This yarn will have to be pared with some other fiber to become anything, but I likely have four other sets of red and black fiber in various iterations. So it may get sister fiber. Working with it is likely a way off as I wait for it to dry off, to be placed away.
