The reason why there haven&#8217;t been a lot of posts is because I have mostly been working on the winter sock for the sock club, and I can&#8217;t show you that. Sure, I could go expound on other topics in the meantime, but do you really want to hear about that stuff? As an aside, I have learned not to work on the sock while having our weekly cocktails on Friday night. It seems I lost the ability to count while doing the heel, and had to rip it out the next day. Oops!<\/p>\n<p>I have been doing other things while working on the sock, though. I have been spinning! I managed to finish the blue Corriedale that I bought at Sheep and Wool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/blue-corriedale-single-done.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-714\" title=\"blue-corriedale-single-done\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/blue-corriedale-single-done-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And I managed to spin some superwash merino in the Silk Road colorway that I bought from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop.php?user_id=58716\" target=\"_blank\">Enchanted Knolls on Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/silk-road-single.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-707\" title=\"silk-road-single\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/silk-road-single-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That spun up super easy!<\/p>\n<p>With all of the bobbins for my Lendrum full,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/singles-on-bobbins.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-708\" title=\"singles-on-bobbins\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/singles-on-bobbins-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>it was time to start doing some plying.
