crafty_packrat: Handspindles are a go! (spinning)
I think I'll be spinning the CVM from MDSW at a pretty rapid clip, if I keep doing a bit every night -- I really want to get this roving actually finished, for a change. I've got plans for the yarn.

At the moment, it's very thin singles, so if I ply it back on itself, it should be somewhere between lace and fingering, which would be nice for one of the scarves at KnitSpot.

I've gotten past the 'forethought' heels on the Chevron socks I'm been knitting. I doubt I'll use this pattern again, because I'm really don't like how afterthought heels fit my actually heels. And this particular pattern is turning out quite a bit tighter than I like, so I've decided that these socks are going to be a gift for a friend who has rather smaller feet that I do.

On the other hand, the socks are turning out pretty )

I might use the chevron pattern again, possibly with a heavier yarn -- it'd make for some nice house-socks.
