YES, I am experiencing the effects of knitting - as an outlet for my creativity, my obsession with colour and my love for beautiful yarns. NO, not in a negative way, but as in the German word "stricken", i.e. knitting!

I made yarn!
136 grams of it. (60% Alpaca, 40% silk)
You can't really see the subtle variegation in the yarn - there's green, turquoise, periwinkle...the roving changed colour gradually, it looks great when plied.
This is a 4 mm needle - just so you get an idea of the weight.

Cool! I've been able to resist spinning so far because I'm a total klutz, but successes like yours tempt me :)
