Finished winding!

Well, today's a very good day. Jhoneil's in town, very yay, as he's such a good friend online, and he's way sweet. Bonus, he's in a giving mood so he sprang for a box of Marie's watercolours. They're these good watercolours from China. I like them cuz I can make vibrant washes and use them kind of opaque, but they only cost like $7.00 a set!

Anyhoo, on track and to the point. I just finished winding that 4oz of JaggerSpun SuperLamb. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I was aiming to wind a center pull ball, but there's just so much of it. It's more like a pull-skein, but will unwind from the outside as I've been assured that's the best way to prevent tangles.

I'm just hoping I didn't put a whole bunch of tangles in while winding.

Oooh, good news! My order of Aqua Moon coloured(added the u as it's how it's spelled in the UK) lace weight cashmere/merino yarn was processed yesterday, or maybe was the day before? All I know is I got the email yesterday :D. Looks like I'll be getting the free sample pack too, even though I do think that was my error in reading, like a bizarre lack of comprehension. Strange since I normally have excellent reading comprehension.

Even if he just puts in the tiny skeins and not the mini, that's cool. If no samples come, I'll be mildly dissapointed, but will understand :D.

Turns out the ColourMart laceweight has more yardage per ounce than the SuperLamb and the SuperLamb's touted as being cobweb weight. Hmmmm. I just bought a set of Addi in 0000 size. I'm working at relaxing my tension while knitting. My shoulder's been giving me fits, with numbness down my arm. I think relaxing my tension will make for even knitting and be good for my shoulder.

I read that tiny needles with relaxed tension is equal to using size 2-3 with a tighter tension. At any rate it's impressive, "look what I knit on 0000 needles!" hehehe.
