Well, here is another Finished Object (FO). I actually have at least one other scarf I haven't posted a FO photo of yet, but I think I may just do a group photo sometime instead. This one is made from two different stitches. I knit random rows - that is, 4 or 6 rows of one stitch, followed by 2 or 4 rows of the second stitch, and then back to the first for a few, and so on. I like it. I was able to use up all by a few inches of one 4 ounce skein of acrylic yarn on this scarf. Tonight, mostly I wanted to show the world what I've done on the spindle. I wrote to SDSue and asked her a couple questions about it (plying, mixing sheep wool and goat hair, etc). That is an American dime set in there. Shiny one, apparently. :):) It gives a hint as to how thick the yarn is. Actually, early on tonight, soon after I started spinning, I made what can only be called "thread." I think I could thread a needle with it - a regular needle, not a darning needle! So, it truly is many different thicknesses.
I really like spinning and working with the mohair. It is a very lovely natural fiber. I have got to find a supplier for that! ha ha
