Knitting with my handspun: first attempt
I knitted these fingerless mitts with some Corriedale two-ply I'd spun. They came out meh. The Corriedale wasn't really soft enough, and in places I'd overtwisted enough that it was practically barbed wire. HOWEVER! Knitting with my own handspun taught me a hell of a lot about what to do (and not do) to get the yarn I want, so I'm really glad I made them. I'm going to soak them in some warm water and Johnson's Baby Extra-Conditioning Shampoo later as an experiment, to see if I can make them a tad softer. I'm not expecting much, but it too will be a good learning experience.
