I've been working with my spindles some more. Every time I pick them up, they make me want to smile. My latest project has been a tiny one, as I had only a little bit of fiber in a particular colorway, but I wanted to play with a three ply, and this just looked too fun.

I spun up three colors of singles. A mulberry of merino, a brown of llama, and a cream of some unknown long wool. For plying I fashioned a spindle kate out of a
spa basket I purchased from Amazon.

| It's not fancy, but it works! |
Because the yardage was so slight, I wound my singles around a smallish natural sea sponge.

Eventually I got all the singles wound off and was prepared for plying. It went smooth as silk!

| Almost done! |
After a relaxing bath (the yarn, not me), I skeined my tiny treasure. I am planning on using it in my
Traditional Danish Tie Shawl which I hope to finish before I'm a decade older. It seems like that shawl is taking forever, but I suppose that's what happens when one doesn't actually
knit on it, eh?

| Finished, and oh, so cute! |
I'm now motivated to finish up knitting some projects that have been, shall we say, relaxing just a smidge too long?
