the lazy kate still isn't finished, but today karrie taught me how to navajo ply. it is so cool. now i am a plying machine. of course, this means i now have a while lot of bulky yarn. i plied 3 bobbins worth -- one spruce green wool (from the gladys shipment) and two mystery white wool from carolina homespun (i thought it was merino superwash but karrie doesn't think so...?) -- and it looks pretty good. i think that when my dye comes i may try to dye the two white skeins some complementary color scheme -- either variegated greens or blues -- and make a striped scarf (and/or hat) with the green.
unfortunately, my new plying bobbin makes a really funny noise. so i'm going to have to figure out what that's about.....
