I have finished the first May handspun sock. Saturday, Youngest Son has a Tae Kwan Do tournament that is going to provide many hours of knitting time, so I am not worried about finishing the second sock before the end of the month. So, I began spinning for June's socks.
I do not remember the type of fiber, I will look it up and post the details with the finished photo. I plied the smaller bobbin last night. It was my intention to ply the other this morning, but my wheel had other ideas. Sometimes my wheel has a squeak. A squeak that can not be fixed by oiling or changes in foot position or any amount of swearing. This morning it decided it was going to be a squeaky day. Since it is 6:30 AM and the rest of the house is asleep, I decided to wait on the plying.

A problem not cured by swearing I am aghast!

6:30 a.m.? They should all be up and about anyway. :)

You may have tried this, but sometimes my wheel gets one of those squeaks and I found the culprit to be the hinges on the bottom of the treadles. Every so often I have to flip the wheel and oil those hinges. Took me ages to figure that out! Gorgeous fiber!

I hope you can get the squeak taken care of soon. The colors in the fiber are pretty. Good Luck to your son in his tournament.
