Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Signs of spring
What I come down to in the morning
Today I woke up thinking about plying, so I thought I'd do some.
I found the heavier spindle I use to ply, then set up a way to keep the threads from tangling. You can get quite elaborate setups for this purpose, but this works fine
I spun these singles clockwise, so I plied counterclockwise, as in z then s. This is how you get plied yarn.
Chunky, as you see. I need to do quite a bit more spinning and plying before I start knitting skirt panels.
Tomorrow I think I'll set up the warp for the next woven panel. First I find wherever I carefully put the yarn, so as to wind it into balls.
This afternoon is the knitting group, so that's when I'll get on with that final sock for the current package. After that's gone I'll get into figuring out the knitted skirt panels and even maybe knitting them, who knows.
Life's a banquet!
Enjoy your day, everyone, Nadine invites you to feast on.
