Introduce Yourself!

On The Needles & Hooks

Iced by Carol Feller

• my modifications are listed on my project page

Hitchin' A Ride by Sharon Cheek

From this project I am learning:

•  how to "read" crochet stitches
• what " in the chain 1 space" means
• increasing in crochet

Spinning

Finished my Gale's Art BFL fiber in the Crayon Box colorway.
I spoke about how I prepared this fiber to spin in episode 24.
Techniques I used with this fiber:

• spinning over the fold to blend color
• drafted with a long draw woolen technique
• left it as a single
• fulled the skein to finish it

I ended up with 254 yds of a thick and thin single
