This past weekend I went to a spinning class at the FABULOUS Spinning Loft. It wasn't just any old class either. It was a spinning-for-socks class with Abby. THE ABBY! ABBY FRANQUEMONT Abby! (Breathe in, breathe out. I'm ok.)
Can ya tell I am a little starstruck? I grabbed her and made her have her picture taken with me. This woman is amazing. Not only is she a fantastic teacher, she makes gorgeous batts, writes a great blog, and produces wonderful videos.

So anyhoo, at this class, we learned a TON! How to spin long wearing yarn, how to spin a sproingy yarn, how to preserve color in a roving, long draw, navajo plying...yeah...all that!
-
I took along some of my yarn to show Miss Beth the spinning queen. It was this yarn, the 3rd one I spun.
Not only did Miss Beth tell me I did a nice job, so did Abby! She even said it on her blog! She used the word impeccable and my yarn in the same sentence! Eeek! I couldn't be more excited. I think I actually almost peed my pants. It was a wonderful day and I would take another class from her in a heartbeat. Between Beth and Abby, we were truly in the midst of mega knowledge and talent. Sigh.........

I could talk all day about that class, but I will stop gushing.

I do have something else to talk about. I even have another FO to share. Eh, not a great one, but hey it's finished right?
Simple stockinette socks for my niece. Boring by yarn used from stash and a gift finished. That can't be all bad right?
-
Well I'm off to work on another secret project. I will share when I can.

Congratulations, and yes, that is gorgeous and gorgeously-spun yarn. Well done! And if you think those socks are boring, I'm hoping your niece doesn't like them either and that you find you desperately need someone with size 6.5 to 7ish feet.
Sounds like a fun class - and your yarn is gorgeous!
Of course you make good yarn - you make gorgeous yarn!
Pretty cute socks too :)
