Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

I'm just a bit further into my challenge yarn. I hope to have this done before the tour ends. Fingers crossed!

Well I'm going with a gift roving - from Squoosh Fiberarts. I'm spinning it as thin and as fine as possible. Enjoying this roving.

Remember the roving? First single. Both singles. Another 4 oz done. I'm sure now I wont make my goal of 2 pounds for the tour ... but I have worked pretty hard to make some good progress. This was from Christina Marie Potter's roving club. I ended up with 460 yards of sport weight yarn. I'm not sure what I want to do with it - but the pink makes me smile!

I finished the other singles for this 4oz project. Now to ply. Hopefully it is plyed and ready tomorrow! Fingers crossed.

I'm so far behind it isn't even funny. Our road trip really hurt my plans for the tour. But, I'm not going to stop or let it hold me down. I'm finishing up 2 oz of this lovely roving. Hopefully I'll be plying tomorrow.

Day 9 has been a good one. I spun up 2 oz of this BFL called Kaylee's Jacket. It was one of the roving of the months that I signed up for. I'm trying to decided if I can use it as a single for socks or not. Thoughts?

Here is the roving. Wonderfully bright and happy. Especially with all the clouds and rain that we are experiencing. Well I'm a bit ahead of schedule. I had planned to spend ~3 days/4oz of roving over the tour. I finished my first single yesterday, my second single today and I plyed the singles today as well. This is from Knit It Up. Colorway Blooms. It is 100% Superwash Merino (which I have never spun up before and found it a challenge to get the correct weight). I wanted something thicker and in the end got 340 yards of DK weight. I think a lovely winter hat is in order. I also know - that I'm very very ready for a rest day. Spinning each day at this pace is hard.

I know this is a day late. The internet has sort of been a bitch on the road. This is from Knit It Up and the colorway is blooms. My first single. I'll finish the next today. It is 100% superwash merino and I have to say ... I've never spun anything so squishy. Part of the tour I wanted to try out the big bin of fibers that I have never spun before. This is the first time I've spun this. I'm still on the fence with it. It seems hard to get exactly what I want out of it.

This was the roving ... right out of the bag. Here are the singles. Yep. Another finished item. I'm on track. 4oz of Funky Carolina Scrappy roving. I call it Garden Vegetables. Reminds me of them. It is 520 yards of sport weight. I'm thinking a scarf!

Well I'm nearly finished with the scrappy singles. My goal was to ply them by Thursday and I think I'll make that. Although spinning on the road - in a moving car - in a storm was a bit strange. And this KAO wouldn't let me post my photos yesterday.

Day four. My goal was 2 oz of my scrappy roving spun up ... but I'm one ball short. DARN.

My goal for the first two days of the tour was to finish spinning up 4 oz of the yummy roving I had gotten from Anne. And my goal was met - as were a lot of crashes in the tour. My plan is to ply tomorrow and start on another 4 oz. I'm flying on my to-do-list for the tour. I hope to get through 2 lbs. Possible??
