Approximately two hundred and fifty-seven yards of domestic wool, roughly sport weight, Navajo-plied.
I am so very proud of this. I’ll set the twist on it tomorrow.
I think I will Navajo-ply everything from now on. I love it.
Ta-Da!

Autumn Hiscock records her daily minutiae for posterity, featuring cello, handspinning, family, and writing.
That is so very cool! (Also, can’t believe you’re finished already!)
Oh, and I would like to point out that as recently as the crafting weekend you were wibbling about ever navajo-plying again.
Bah. That was three whole weeks ago. *waves a hand dismissively*
It is very, very pretty, isn’t it. I am jumping up and down a lot.
it’s gorgeous!
Thank you!
Wow. That is spectacular!
I have been eagerly following these posts, but have been out at work and not able to comment (or, at least, did comment several times, but was screened out).
It looks completely amazing, and Devon is a lucky lucky girl! Being seven, and not fully comprehending all the hard work you have been putting into this gift, she will very likely not appreciate it as much as she ought. But I know she will be touched that you made this by hand, and she’ll love it besides. Thank you in advance and on her behalf.

Yes, I don’t know why the comments were strenuously quarantined; I found and released a few yesterday and today. Odd, that.
I know that she won’t *fully* understand, but she will love it a lot, and she is a rather perceptive child. I think I’ll be more than adequately pleased with her reaction. Besides, I’m not doing this t impress her; I’m having fun, and I want her to have fun with it too when she opens it. And curiously, there;s less stress doing something like this for a child, because they do accept gifts in a very different way than adults do.
Now, I need to start trying to think of something parallel to do for Tallis in five or so years…
