Some days I need to know I accomplished something positive no matter how small. My positive accomplishment this day is that my hand-winding is improving. I am getting better at shaping the 'shoulders' of the ball so that it doesn't end up looking like an egg. I use a size 35 needle as a nostepinne. This is lace-weight alpaca that has been waiting in the stash for a couple of years to become the Muir. It will make a perfect lightweight shawl for air-conditioned rooms and cool evenings.
