It's time! To finish an UFO--not well aged though; just begun in December 2025 with good intentions of following along with the clues each week as the clues are released.
I like this designer! It was time to gather my yarn--now, we have a problem--what yarn to use? I went stash diving--nothing came to my fancy. Now, what? Then a Brilliant light bulb went off in my brain!! why not use some of those spindle spun little balls lingering in the bottle of singles? Of course, singles should be plied to make a stronger yarn for socks. That takes time. So, off I went to my little e=spinner to combine singles into a workable yarn.
I began knitting! the pattern was given 1-12 days for sock one; then 13-24 to complete the second sock. Guess what?? I didn't get too far with my knitting--maybe day 5 before I quit. more singles needed to be plied. Then Christmas came and went.
now, we're in Day 9 and the first sock is on it's way to the toe.
Only one problem--the singles needed to be plied
This is one ball that has achieved plied status--4 ply.
These are also plied--each 2 plied.
This group should work well together
and this one
maybe 6 ply for this grouping
and these odd balls--might be interesting as a variety yarn
a few yarns ready for the sock.
Four skeins plied! From balls if singles!
Accomplished! All those singles now plied and ready for a project!
