Forest Sky

Forest Sky gave me fits.  

I honestly did not know what I was going to do with this, but I stuck with the original plan.  Once again, I split the braid and weighed the halves.  I had to split it some more, to try and even it up, and then I ever so carefully put the sections I wasn't working with into a zip-lock bag.

As I was spinning along, the bobbin became as full as it should have been, but I still had a large chunk of the braid left.  I double checked the zip-lock bag, and was horrified to discover that there was only a few ounces in it.  I must have mixed everything up when I took the fiber picture.  I caught the error in time to roughly even out the bobbins, but now I had no idea what the yarn was going to look like.   I suspected it would barber pole; the question was, how much and how badly.  The answer, of course, was rather a lot and quite badly.

I have yet to make my peace with barber poling; I don't like it.  I can live with it when colors that are fairly close together do it, but I really hate the light/dark sections.

Despite frequent use of the control card, this also became finer than the other two skeins, but I'm hoping not appreciably so.  I have a small sweater in mind for this entire project, and I think this skein will still work.
