The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Stripy Rainbow won, mostly because I decided that I was going to try a Ravelry challenge, which requires 200 yards, and I think I need all of it in one single to make that at this point. But the REAL answer is "buy another damn braid of the stuff and do both!" Which I will at some point. Because I love the way this is spinning up.



That's a quarter of what I need to spin all finished up and purty. And pretty damn even. And pretty much not overspun. And hopefully not underspun, although I'll find that out when I go to ply. It makes me happy. I'm almost done spinning the blue/green stuff, too, so if I get the rainbow off the spindle I can ply that tonight. Woo!

"Monet's Bluejeans", corriedale, 40 yards

I finished another skein, but it's still drying. Lessons learned? Ghetto lazy kate (bamboo skewers in a cardboard box, with toilet paper tubes as bobbins) makes plying so much easier than wonky balls of yarn in mugs, then falling out of mugs and bouncing around and getting tangled.

Since the polls in California are closing in about seven minutes, I'd just like to take a moment to point out that you read it here first. Although I was thinking 2012, still!
