Once I finished spinning all the wool, I ended up with these four ugly balls of "singles". You can use them this way, but it is much better if you twist (or ply) them together to make 2-ply yarn.
This is the 2-ply yarn I ended up with... When you are just learning, you get some sections that are skinny and some fat, but when you ply them together they sort of even out in a lumpy sort of way... Who wants a lumpy scarf for Christmas?

Over the weekend a couple people asked what we did when it was nasty and we couldn't go outside. Dick reads and naps. I do silly things like "spin yarn"... This is some wool I bought from a fantastic shop on a farm near Marengo, with about half of it spun onto two handspindles. Very relaxing, once you practice enough to stop cussing... Especially if you can watch some girly movies while you do it!

Today in the mail I received 2 copies of the Family Fun magazine with my jellyfish costume idea published in it. They changed it quite a bit, but I guess that since they bought the idea from me, they can do what they want with it. I think my version was much cuter! And, I stll haven't received the $200 that they are paying me. I guess I'll give them a couple of weeks, then check into it. Still, it's fun to see my idea used - and on two pages!

The soap at my kitchen sink, which I used about 25 times over the course of making & serving dinner tonight. The puppies were in the kitchen with me... I'd clean up after one, wash my hands, do one thing toward dinner, clean up after another, clean up after what one did while I was cleaning up after the last one, wash my hands, do one more thing toward dinner, etc...
