It's kinda sad

Yes it's very sad--my titles that is--I'm not sure if they're really necessary. I know I generally don't read them.

So lately I've been spinning. and spinning. and spinning. Let me show you:

After spinning some small different colored balls of yarn, I move on to my nice stuff:

Alpaca:

I think the larger one is a 2-ply and the smaller one is my attempt at navajo plying.

Then came my gorgeous, soft, black merino:


This is my second attempt, something went horribly wrong with the first batch that I spun and tried to ply:

It's horribly twisted and tangled. I think it's going to go in the bin.

On Monday, I'm going to be dyeing some superwash sock yarn. Maybe something springy.

The next few days are going to be rather stressful. My family has three people employed in the same company, the same company that just declared bankruptcy (chapter 11 not 7, so they need to restructure). Hopefully they'll announce a restructuring plan early next week and my stomach pains will start to decrease.
