A little dizzy?

Spinning going reasonably so far, but not entirely sure how it will knit up. For one thing, its sock weight in some places and chunky+++++++++ in others - may be a bit of a job to find the right sort of needles to give it a whirl (think will probably start off with the 7mm ones just released by the Inca, and see how it goes)
Love the colours even more now its spun than I did as roving. Not sure about technique though, as right index finger getting a bit sore, and have only spun half of it so far.

More promising is the other sock. Heel is turned, and gusset stitches picked up. I LOVE how the stripes have worked out on these heels, One is red and the other orange, but the heel turns on both exactly where the white and pink splotchy bit begins! And its totally acciden- ahem, purposeful and by design.

OOH! Is that a drop spindle? I totally want one of those. There is a super shiney place in Victoria B.C. that sells the most gorgeous fleece....

I think we are both fans of the same types of colours. Blues rule my stash.
