Stayed up ’til midnight, all by myself spinning. It was glorious. I spun the alpaca lace.

I started at 2 in the afternoon while my brother was visiting, and finished about midnight, taking a combined hour and a half to two hours off to do stuff. I ended up with only 1.6 ounces of yarn, 220 yards. I’m surprised there was so much waste. I started with 1.9 ounces of fiber. It looks heavier in the pictures than it does in person. It’s quite fine yarn.

It looked pretty dyed. It looked pretty spun into singles, and as I was plying it, I was worried. It wasn’t plying up nice. But I finished, and wound it onto the niddy noddy to skein it, and it was beautiful again. It’s so weird how that works. I hope to find some nice beads for it today, a deep blue or purple I think, so I can knit it during General Conference this weekend after finishing the rosy scarf I’m working on now. General Conference provides 8 hours of knitting time over 2 days, and I’m really looking forward to it (the broadcast and the knitting).

Today is Clark’s birthday. Can you believe he’s 3? It’s amazing to me how time flies. I’m about to go to the store to get donuts.
