thinking about string, sticks, ink, & the garden

just sayin: always down for a sticker exchange.

thanks to the new yorker who hit me up for an old-fashioned penpal exchange after finding an older @craftexchange post wherein I mentioned ISO stickers.

remains true!

TdF Day 14

I actually managed to get up in time and spin before work! Both singles spun up and ready for plying.

[ofchaosgoddess]

plying day! If I get both mini skeins and this blellow spin plyed up today, I’ll be at 400g finished yarn for tdf and will have met my stretch goal of spin at least as much as I spun last year (now that I’m right next to the goal I can say it).

And the first mini is plied 😊

[ofchaosgoddess]

Plying the romney/mohair fractal. This wasn’t my most consistent spin ever but it looks like I’ll still get some decent yardage out of it!

[ofchaosgoddess]

definitely not winning any consistency awards for this one 😅

[ofchaosgoddess]

i have bracelet plied too close to the sun

[ofchaosgoddess]

WE DID IT

it was real stressful at the end lemme tell you

TdF Day Two: Into the Pink

[dangerphd]

Day 3: Through the Pink and Into the Violet

[dangerphd]

Day 4: FIN (singles edition)

gotta decide how to ply... chain or just spin another bobbin of something peachycoral and two-ply them together...or maybe a bobbin of peachycoral and one of pure llama in a natural tan for a true three-ply...

I have now given myaelf permission to open ✨the package✨

post incoming...

TdF Day Six(A): Ply 2, Floofed and Ready to Spin

[dangerphd]

TdF Day Six (b): Coral Coordination

(about halfway through this second ply 🤩)

[dangerphd]

TdF Day Seven...

spun the rest of the coral floof singles, plied a bunch with the sunset singles, realized the grist was WILDLY different and paused with an orple skein in the 415m/20wpi range and half a bobbin of coral left...

still have a full yellow pink purple gradient I need a second ply for (now I am thinking llama for sure) and had to come up with something for the half bobbin (70g) so I took the rest of the merino mop batt I used for the first whack (40g) and carded it with some buttercup yellow from stash (30g) and made a fresh setup to spin another singles for the coral...

[dangerphd]

TdF Day Eight: Incidental Skeins

spun ~450m of buttercream floof

plied it with the remainder of the coral peachy orange and blam! two coordinating hanks of squoosh.

that is two different bumps of wool that were either mops or leftovers out of the stash 🥳🤩🥳

...and I still have a LONG whack of yellowpinkpurple singles to coordinate...

however ☝️

I made a couple of rainbow rollups to go with another leftover bump of blurple from the mid-deep stash and 😍😍😍 it's definitely next

TdF Day 13

I spun a whopping one (1) gram on this spindle last week, for a total of 6g so far this tdf. but in my defense I was At Work for so many hours the last 5 days. A truly unreasonable number of hours okay. I definitely will not be spinning an ounce on this spindle by the end of tdf but we will see how far I do manage to get.

I finished the first ply of this planned 2ply fractal and resisted the call of the singles. The second ply is now on the wheel. Hopefully I can spin today ply tomorrow? We’ll see.

Obviously I’m in a blue/green/yellow phase rn
