Chicken Butt

When I first started dating DH every time I asked “What’s up?”, he would reply, “Chicken Butt.” I was just thinking about that as I was looking over the photo I took last night of the chicken dress. As of lunch today, I’m about 76% finished excluding the finishing (applique chicken, duplicate stitch on the mini chicks, and the crochet edgings).

My goal for the weekend was to get half done, I started today at 72% completed! So, since I was way ahead of schedule and my high speed flyer kit arrived on Friday, I decided to take some time and play with my new toy. My goal is to eventually be able to spin sport and lace weight yarns. With my Louet (with the old two ratio bobbins), I had to spin like a madwoman to get anything finer than bulky. So, I decided to take some of my tax return and get the high speed flyer kit. I just grabbed some unknown wool that someone gave me to try it out. I’m still not adding in enough twist, but I’m happy with my little 2-ply.
