  spun!
finally off of schottland, aside from one more thing... the yarn! all the "made in scotland" yarn was totally ick... I got two balls from the mill place, but they are horrbly scratchy, so no photo. I did get these and a bunch of tiny surprises from a department store... it's Jaeger Matchmaker Merino DK. And quite nice! It seemed cheaper than here- was less than 3 pounds per ball.. trying to find a nice stripey scarf/hat/mitten pattern to make it into...


and then, what I've done lately.. first some 3 ply merino, in scotland color (swear it was done before I left!)

and then a few more:

merino/mohair mistake on left (not sure how it'll be, but I'm hating the hairiness of mohair, and the merino felted some during my special treatment but mohair did not so it's slightly loopy.)... then a nice soft merino single in the middle, bout 100 yds... then two singles of merino and falklands plied together for a pretty nice yarn. over 330 yds..
