Laura has finished nada

Leslie has finished Lichen out of handspun from Into the Whirled.

Laura has spun all the singles including 4oz of Hello Yarn American Wool on Whales and Ships and Icebergs.  She has also spun 2.3 oz of Hobbledeehoy battlings and plans on spinning some natural Jacob from Ross Farms to ply it with.

Leslie has spun half of a 4oz braid of Gale’s Art 100% Merino on the mini spinner as well as some secret spinning.

Question from NancyGrillo:   Since you answered my yarn club question, I thought I’d press my luck and try another: sock heels. There seem to be so many out there. I’m a traditional heel flap girl and I’ve perfected my own vanilla sock pattern so they fit fine. But curious about which ones you use and in what circumstances. Afterthought for self-striping, etc..Sorry if you’ve already covered this – I only started watching about 8 months ago. Thanks.
