Two plies of it became this. It's 95g of very wobbly yarn that is probably too dodgy to have a useful purpose... perhaps it's just as well, as it would probably knit up to look like carpet anyway!
Then I abandoned everything in a sudden urge to make more Tiny Shoes. These ones are in Jitterbug castagna, and are for my friend's new girl, Adelaide. So hard to get good buttons here at Spotlight. They have hundreds of boring ones, though! But I liked these sparkley ones...
They're softer than the last shoes I made, and don't stand up on their own so well. So they're not too easy to photograph, and my camera doesn't like close-ups or true colors ;) ....never mind.
Here's my old (drop spindled) sky blue stuff, finished a bit before I found out if this baby's a boy or girl. I haven't started knitting anything from my blue or pink yet, but I am knitting a few secret things. Not sure what to make with thick handspun yet... especially for a Summer baby.
Well, time to oil up the wheel and try some more spinnerings...

the shoes are so sweet!
The shoes are adorable.
You'd be surprised at how well your first handspun knits up. I'd suggest a hat in a larger size for winter.
Ah cool you got it working. Fun fun. And the shoes are cute. Miniture things usually are.
Can't wait to see what Thing 3 turns out to be! :)
Those bootees are just gorgeous! What pattern is that? And I think your spun yarn is great. You're always your own worst critic.
Love the shoes. They are so cute!
I need to get spinning. I have a wheel, but haven't mastered it yet.
