Work in progress! This is the first of two bobbins that’ll go into a yarn I’m making for the lovely pronouncedlab-eth since I dyed it for her over a year ago ^_^;;;
About halfway through the second one. I’m figuring on a light fingering for this 2ply from my tests. I hope she likes. Pictures more than likely tomorrow.

Went to IKEA today, cleaned for about 3 hours after getting home, and felt super accomplished until I realized I most likely have a cavity and need to go to the dentist. Which I’ve been meaning to do anyway but still.
So here’s some yarn I finished the other day, which I now realize looks totally phallic in this picture.

I love yarn like this, but I’m not always sure what to do with it!
