Ok, before you get excited, that title just means that I’ve finally finished spinning the grey. It’s done, done, done, and the last 1000 yards is hanging to dry even as we figuratively speak.
Done, done, done.
Done, done, done.
Nope, I’m not feeling as if I’ve just accomplished something major or that there’s been a weight lifted. Nope, not at all.
Done, done, done.
Done, done, done!
Ok, maybe I am. 
For 3.7 pounds, at 10-11 wpi and 10 tpi, there is a grand total of somewhere over 2500 yards. That yardage count is a bit iffy because I lost count one time too many and refused to go back and count the entire thing again. I DO know that there is at least 2500 yards there. It’s a nicely soft yarn, despite the high twist factor. I need this yarn to be fairly sturdy, so I span the singles to the edge of being hard, counting on softening that in the plying process, and then plied with a fairly high twist. Finally, it was subjected to a very abusive wash, so it plumped up and solidified nicely. Now if I can just finish it before next Christmas!

Gratulerer! Det skulle vært morsomt å se garnet sånn på ordentlig. Og du må jo ta et bilde av alle buntene samlet (med genseren du har startet på, også da).
Er du klar for neste prosjekt?
Yippee! What a lot of yardage! wowee!
I just took my grey shawl off the loom last night, gonna wear it tomorrow, I hope, to see Abby…. Yay!
Even if you’re not, I’m feeling like you’ve accomplished something major! It’s looking so nice knit up. That little extra twist will make it wear so much better - and this should be a sweater that will get lots of wear!
Gratulerer med “ferdig” spinning. Det skal bli spennede å følge med strikkingen. Mannen din må nok være modell og vise den fram for oss, når du har strikket den!
Gratulerer! Håper du har tatt en skikkelig seiersdans nå
WHOOHOO! That’s some serious yardage and stick-to-itness. And look at that solid start on the cobblestone.
