Yep, it’s WIP Wednesday. I’ll keep it short and simple today because my back is very unhappy.
Vanilla Candy Corn sock # 1 is completed and so is the toe of sock # 2.
Vanilla Candy Corn socks are progressing.
My Cotton Candy spinning challenge (Spindlers on Ravelry) is coming along. I have one spindle finished and a second one is nearly finished. I plan to do a third spindle, then make a 3-ply sock yarn. The blending of the colors will probably turn everything to mud, or maybe to clown barf, but I shall press forward. 😀

And, finally, this lovely fiber from Sunset Fibers, which is the November edition of the Fiber of the Month Club
Sunset Fibers pin-drafted Corriedale fiber beautifully dyed
is turning into some very lovely singles that will be plied together to make a 2-ply yarn that should be lace weight.

Ho! 😀
I know you have no idea who I am, but I found your blog via Stacey’s blogroll and fell in love with your pictures of handspun yarn.
Your blog is lovely! I have absolutely no idea about icehockey or baseball (both are no big deal in my country), but I love your blog entries and have enjoyed reading about your projects a lot.
I have your blog in my RSS feed now and hope that’s okay.
Have a lovely day!
Julia 😀
Thank you, Julia. I’m happy you enjoy my blog. If I could read German, I’d put your blog in my RSS feed. But, sadly, my German is rather pitiful. 😦
I think German is a hell of a language for everyone to learn … And if it wasn’t my first language, I wasn’t sure if I could have ever worked up the patience to learn it at all.
I have another blog (written in English!) which is about my knitting. wordsandstitches.wordpress.com Maybe you like it? 😀
Thank, Julia. I just subscribed to your knitting blog. I don’t think that German would be any more difficult to learn as a second language than English. I once took a course in reading German and was able to get by as long as I had a dictionary and grammar book nearby. But that was a long time ago. I am totally and absolutely jealous of folks who are bilingual (or better). Although I can read Latin and a little ancient Greek, the only language I can speak is English. Oh, and knitting. I can speak knitting rather fluently. 🙂
I love the cotton candy fiber. It looks like it’s namesake and I can’t wait to see it plied. I think you will be fine and the colors will shine.
I hope that you are right. I’m going to do a 3-ply sample, and if I don’t like how it looks, I will probably just leave the yarns as a single.
