Okay, not lots of pics…but some pics
This is a bobbin full of single ply alpaca…
Which has become 330 yds (125 gms) of fingering/lace weight that looks like this:
And this (cause I’m proud of my accomplishment show off!)
I have about 75 more grams to spin so I should have a decent amount for???? A narrow lacey scarf? Yummy alpaca-y mittens? Its so soft and pretty I kinda want to mount it and frame it but it might be lost on the non-fibery folks.

I sense an underlying motive here!
And the last word goes to:
My plan for complete world domination is complete. The yarn will be unsupervised and all the cats will be free! Free I tell you…FFFREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fingering is beautiful – your spinning is really nice. I think it would make a great lace scarf! Are you going to dye it or leave it natural?
Unfortunate for the cat that she doesn’t have opposable thumbs, huh?
Okay, it may not mean much because I have NO practical idea how much work/talent/bloodsweatandtears go into such feats but I am INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SPINNING!!! Holy ****!! I think I only just really realized you’re MAKING this stuff and not BUYING it like that (I know, I’m slow). Good work!!
But am even more (selfishly?) impressed with your KNITTING!
that is a priceless kitty pic
