Jane of All Trades

So I promised pics from the conclusion of the Tour some time ago…  And here they are.

Here is the total lot, about 800-ish yards of heavy worsted weight two-ply natural colored oppossum blend.  Traveling from right to left in order finished, more or less:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a close-up of the first skein.  This is the one that was underspun in the single, then underplied and set once, then run back through the wheel to tighten up the plying.  Not, of course, intentionally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here, for comparison’s sake, is the last skein.  I still struggle with twisting adequately in the single stage, though my plying improved considerably.  Also, I’m nowhere near as consistent overall as I’d like ot be, but I am much better than I was when I started.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here’s a major thank you to Katherine for hosting the Tour, and getting me to take this on in the first place.  See you all same time, next year.  Now, it’s time for some much-neglected knitting.

YAY!
