Last night, Nate and I stayed up really late. He skimmed through the 5th and 6th Harry Potter books,

and I finished off the beautiful roving.

It’s gorgeous, almost velveteen in feel and look, and I’m really sad. I only have 314 yards, out of 8 ounces. I was going for a worsted weight yarn, because I thought the colors would get muddy in a thinner one, and it came out as I had hoped. I sectioned it off and spun the colors deliberately, going for a combination of stripes and splotches. I have a scarf pattern picked, (Fiona Ellis’s school scarf from Scarf Style) which I’m still planning to knit it into, but I don’t have enough yarn. I really thought 8 ounces of roving would give me more than this.

Sigh.

So, I’ve spun everything I bought at Black Sheep.

(Hee hee. I think it’ll be years before Marie can say that)!

I’m dying to start knitting with my new yarn but I think, for now at least, I’m going to make myself plow through the Sea Silk Stole first.
