With my back finally on the mend I got around to plying the singles a few days ago. It was quite greasy, dirty stuff but it washed up beautifully. Now it's 9.1 ounces of wonderfully, buttery soft, fuzzy yum that I'm trying to find a project for. Any suggestions? I think I'll wind it into balls tonight and do a few test swatches. Maybe some sort of men's toque (that would be a "watch cap" for you Americans)?

Project? I can leave you my address and mailing the envelope to me would be a great project!

is what I did with my handspun alpaca and LOVE the way it came out. It was fast, easy and satifying to knit and wonderful to wear.
Jen and Rachael, I tried to answer both of you on your blogs (your email address does not come through with your comments here). On both your blogs I ran into problems with the comment police not recognizing my password.
Jen, I eventually left you an "anonymous" comment.
Rachael, I gave up. In essence I was trying to say that I've decided to make my husband a toque with the first skein and if there is enough left over I'd sure like to give the pattern you linked to a try. It's very pretty!
It really is yummy looking. You are such an even spinner. :)
>b, that's kind of funny because I was trying to lighten up on my perfectionism. I was trying to spin thicker and with less attention to evenness so that I would have more of a handspun look than I normally get.
