Uh Oh.....

 Apparently my chain plying skills are a bit rusty.


 As soon as I pulled this skein off the niddy noddy I knew I was in trouble.


 I knew I had tied it off in at least three places but I couldn't find where.



 Even when I did tame it, it still had a mind of its own.



 It took a lot of twisting to get this pre-thwacking shot.



 After a soak and a beating, it was much tamer.



 It also looked fat and fluffy which helped hide some of the wonky bits.


None of it really matters because it is destined to become a few stripes in the wonkiest sweater ever knit. I am at the ribbing on the bottom of the body so it's the sleeves that need to be spun next. I can't wait to finish it and try it on. It's going to be hilarious.

    I feel so much better now knowing that I am not the only one turning out wild over energized bundles like this. :-) Can't wait to see your finished colorful sweater!

    When I first saw the title and the picture of yarn - I thought the kitties were up to no good again
