I love that yarn!

You started the 17 by spinning the actual yarn? Duuuuddddeee! I am in awe. Even if you didn't finish, I am in freaking AWE!

This is big. This is like yarn harlot started a ravelympic institution big.

I have never done a ravelympic, and I'm not sure that I want to. I am going to knit a sweater though.

[...] night, I gave up on a sweater. My beautiful handspun sweater just isn’t working out. After completing the body and 1 sleeve, I realized I need more yarn. [...]

What a GREAT post. In this case, failure is something to aspire to, some of us absolutely need goals and deadlines to get us moving and whether or not we finish by the date doesn’t matter nearly as much as what we accomplish and what we learn in the process. Bravo, your sweater will be marvelous!!

Well said. You’ve got my vote. Oh wait, am I bleeding the two seasons (Olympics and DNC) together?

At any rate, seriously. well put.
