I've been working and doing a lot of school work lately. The end of the semester is fast approaching and I still have lots of stuff to do. I also have to think about next semester and what classes I am going to take. I was thinking about going to a trade school so I could get certified as a pharmacy tech, but the school I wanted to go to has not sent me the information I requested yet.

I purchased a Kundert Spindle for plying. It was a pretty good deal. I'm just awaiting for it to arrive in the mail. I tried to do a 2 ply on "Lucie the laceweight" but it just wasn't happening. I was trying to make a test skein for the spindlers  monthly challenge on ravelry. The theme this month is childhood and more often than not I think of the beach when I think about my childhood. My mom used to pull me out of school sometimes, just so we could go to the beach and watch the storms. With our situation at home, we both needed to get away sometimes. It just so happens that I have some bfl in some great teals and blacks and purples, so that is what I will be using. It spins up really nice on my Russian, but I'm having trouble plying it. Maybe someday I will learn how to chain ply perhaps?

Help!

So, I was plying my singles tonight and guess what? My spindle got full and I still have more of my singles left to ply. What do I do? Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.


Update:

  I finished plying. I just kind of went for it, because I'm young and wild. My spindle was super duper full by the end and was doing a wonky little dance.

Now it is time to wrap it around a chair (my make-shift niddy noddy) and turn it into a skein. Will be soaking it in some some wool wash tonight to set the twist and hopefully it will dry by tomorrow afternoon, so I can wind it into a ball and use it! *pats self on back*
