tried something new to corespin this roving i dyed for my friend josh's scarf...the colours turned out different than i intended, but i'm very pleased with it all the same. especially since i tried out this new technique for corespinning...

 it means i use less fiber...

 and make a semi uniform width. my biggest problem is letting it get too thin in places, i HATE that. when you're trying to stitch up something warm and squishy for someone and you're faced with these teesny, laceweight spots in your yarn, it's very frustrating! but this stuff is beauty and it's just drying now, hopefully will be done by tomorrow and i can get started on his scarf!

even though i'm SO sick, i got some roving and locks soaking so i can get the colourways ready for natasha and michelle's hats! must try and re-create from memory a hat and cowl i did for a friend using commercial yarn last year! she's been wearing it lately and it's been a big hit with the fans, two orders to re-create it! fingers crossed!
