Sure, it may not be perfect, but that part of the fun of handspun! I think it looks just lovely, and you clearly figured something out because the Goblin Eyes is absolutely gorgeous. I did have a comment about the lazy kate though. I don't have that particular model, but the bobbins shouldn't jump around much when it's in the normal position if the tension is adjusted properly. Does tightening the knob that controls the string running over your bobbins not settle them down? If not, you can add extra tension by sending the string over one bobbin then under the next and over a third on the end. This will further tighten the string and should keep those bobbins in place, even if you're only actually plying from 2 of them. Keep up the spinning, it is lovely! Hey there,

I love those colors together. You've been spinning a lot this week! I haven't ordered from her yet, but your yarn is making me think about it. I'm forcing myself to finish some knitting projects first. Oh, it’s beautiful! I love those colors together. You’ve been spinning a lot this week!

However, I feel about s- and z-twists the way I feel about meter in poetry--it's way harder to figure out for me than for others because I force it (I think).
