Finished! And before the next kit is here. Which means I need to cast on a pair of socks for my son. I let him dig through my sock yarn stash and pick what he liked. They’ll be bright.. that’s for sure :)

I have been working on socks, baby sweaters, spinning some stuff; but nothing picture worthy lately since I finished my daughter’s lilac rose cardigan (which she wears All. The. Time, I’m proud to say).
So since my blog fodder is non-existant, I’m going to leech off my mom’s spinning.
First, we see some yarn that she sent me a picture of:
The colors are nice, but to me, it really didn’t have enough twist in it. So we talked about it. How it might be splitty when knit with; what she might want to knit with it, and so on. She decided to add more twist to the yarn.
Here’s the result:
I really like the 2nd one better. I think she does too. I haven’t been able to see how the yarn feels; but I would bet it has a bit of bounce to it. :)
