Bad news, good news...

Bad news:

No knitter wants to see this:
when the instructions say “yo K1 yo K2 yo K3”. Especially not when there are over 420 stitches on the needle. ESPECIALLY not when I’ve found the mistake – in the second repeat…

Good news:
I’ve had an email from Diane – I’ve won the prize draw for her first Sunday Spin-a-Long. The second one is on Andean Plying (pdf to download) – the tutorial looks very clear, so I just need to sort out some fibre and have a go.

(Incidentally, my big problem at the moment is that the yarn I’m spinning keeps snapping – I don’t think I’m doing anything different than I have been doing – and it’s definitely snapping, rather than just drifting apart because I’ve not got enough twist. Hmmm… This does not a happy spinner make… )

two comments:

Congratulations on winning!

Your singles is probably snapping because of a combination of too much twist and too much tension on the uptake to the bobbin.

Oh no! The second repeat! Lace is recalcitrant like that though. It can’t help itself.

Congrats on the win!
