Friday Fluff

 

How it started. 



How it ended. I loved this fiber braid so much that I swore I wasn't going to ever spin it, just admire it but I did. It's not particularly soft so more than likely it will be next year's Croc Socks, the ones I pull over my regular socks when I don't want cold, wet feet. 




I also retired another stitch marker on the Pi Shawl and am close to retiring another. That will leave eight.




Yesterday's Betty race resulted in two decent loaves but there was a clear winner. A Better Betty.



Betty White was the best when it came to looks, texture and taste. Oh, dear. Now I have a hard decision. Do I abandon Brown Betty, my first born, and only keep Betty White (who is still a bit unreliable tbh)? Do I tinker with Brown Betty? Decisions, decisions.

    decisions, decisions on the sourdough. I would probably keep both for at least a little while longer until Betty White proves herself reliable.

    Give both Bettys a pep talk and an ultimatum; the one that makes the best loaf next time will be crowned the winner and the loser will get left behind. Or keep them both!

    You do such great work on the wheel. Such neat and perfect spinning. Beautiful skein.
    Maybe keep both Betty's for now and tell them to get their acts together or they'll be gone. :-)
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    Isn't it interesting to see how fiber spins into yarn? Both the braid and the yarn are beautiful but I would never have connected them if you hadn't showed them together. Best of luck deciding between your two Betty's.
