Instead, here are some crummy pictures of the yarn I finished spinning and plying yesterday. It looks somewhat better in person, although I'm not thrilled with it. It was prettier in the roving; the finished result is a bit muddy and bland looking to me.
I have two large skeins of this (eight ounces worth), in what I think is about a sport weight. It will probably end up being a camisole eventually. The very blandness of the color, which is actually a combination of silver, purple, and green, will make it a good choice as a layering piece.I have another project in the works. It's not a knitting project, although it does have to do with yarn. Here's a sneak peek:
(The project is the piece of wood, not the teenager. He is also a work in progress.) Any guesses what it might be?

It's a stick to beat the crap out of anyone who interrupts you when you are knitting/spinning. Am I right or am I right?
One person's muddy and bland is another's subtle. Just sayin'...
It's part of a loom, and now you're taking up weaving....
Oh, I would have called it muted and sparkling, not bland!
I think knkat has it figured out, but in light in of your usual non-violent behavior I'd have to guess it's going to be a niddy noddy.
Oh I love the colour of that yarn - subtle but beautiful
I'm with Jean - it's a loom! If it is, I'm not all that surprised - you are a true fiber artist. Very nice handspun; it will look great in whatever you decide to make with it.
It's getting ready to be a lazy Susan swift
I love that spun yarn!
I think the stick is going to be a yarn swift?
I'm going with loom too!
I know what the new project is, but that would be cheating...
Thanks greeat post
