Is this the most beautiful handspun yarn you've ever seen or what?
Okay, so it's not beautiful. It's thick and thin (not on purpose) and way too twisty but it's mine! I spun it on Beth's Ashford Kiwi. It was my first ever spinning experience and with Beth and Carla's help I produced something!
So, I'm now obsessed with spinning and am going to give it another go this weekend with a different wheel so I can compare. I had to buy some roving for my next practice session so I bought this
from Colorful Life on Etsy. She knew I was a beginning spinner and sent all of this as freebies for me to try:
Aren't fibery/knitty people great?
I am still knitting away. Here's a finished Little Pansy sock for proof:

It looks great :) First skeins are to be treasured!
What wheel are you trying next? Hmm?

Ohhhh... pretty colors in the rovings.
Sounds like you had a good time with the spinning. I haven't tried that yet.

You got some nice fiber there and your sock is GREAT!
