Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Really enjoyed your podcast this morning Rachel.
I love the idea of sample spinning and swatching. If you look at my projects on ravelry I do a lot of spinning and then swatching for my breed blanket.
This year I would like to spin then knit a sweater. I have made a spinning sample and am hoping it will help me be consistent. My problem is that I am a new spinner and my spinning has improved a lot over the past year I am a bit worried as I improve my spinning will change and my skeins will look different. So a sweater might still be too big a project for me.
So happy you stuck with your Snoqualmie project! It’s absolutely amazing, your spinning commitment is inspiring! Happy to have found you :)
Thank you so much! That’s really lovely to hear — I’m so glad you found me :)
