First, a word from our sponsor! ;) It's a new penannular shawl and scarf pin!
Because I know not all of you like hearts. :) And in honor of Sheri of The Loopy Ewe (I love her sneak-ups!), I am surprising you all with free first class shipping in the US and to Canada through Friday, to celebrate my new penannular and...my new coral stick!

We now return you to our previously scheduled spinning madness.
Thank you all so much (I think) for the enablement and (definitely for) the kind words! I am truly having a blast!
The big news? I tried Navajo plying! It is super cool. Here is a regularly plied (two ply) mini skein on the left and a Navajo plied (three ply from one single!) mini skein on the right.
Same roving, but vive la differénce! Amazing, isn't it? It was kind of curly, so I steamed it this morning over the tea kettle. My husband might have given me a few strange looks, but nothing compared to the look he gave me when he asked me what I was doing and I began waxing rhapsodic about Navajo plying. And then, when I just couldn't believe that he wasn't as thrilled as I, I tried to explain it more in depth. Heh. Um. That wasn't the issue after all. In fact, I mistook a bemused "how could anyone care that much about a pile of yarn?" look for a plain "huh?" look. What can I say? He's very enlightened in other ways. And he's going to make me a spinning wheel. :)
So there you go; I just keep getting in deeper and deeper! :sigh:
