Fiber Arts Friday: Rainbow Vanilla Socks, part 4

Last time, in part 3, I had just completed the second foot of this project.

In this episode, I have completed the set up for the Afterthought Heel on both socks and am ready to begin a whole lot of Leg knitting... :-)

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Long Draw Spinning Practice - 2025, part 4

For Part 4 - I chose a 3-color Gradient of Blue, Black, and Yellow.

This one is interesting because the Black is placed through out and the gradient is between the Blue and Yellow.

The good news is that I have an even number of Rolags (6), so I have a better chance of getting the colors to mirror in the single, and therefore match in the finished yarn.  *fingers crossed*

These continue to be better made Rolags and these are spinning quite fine.

 

I do find myself slipping back into short-forward draw, so I need to focus more on pulling my left hand back.  I will say that allowing the spin to reach between my hands feels a lot less weird and out of control than it did in part 1.

Also since I've come up with a loose plan on how to use these yarns in a project together, this one decided to spin much finer, so my plan won't work.  lol.

The quality of the singles are still pretty poor, but I did not have any over-spun sections, tho one section was plied tighter than the rest.  I also did not break the yarn this time.
