I had heard of this pattern earlier, but only just now found it off Rav. I have some Diablo from @lolabeanyarnco.com that would probably work perfectly

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

I really enjoyed this pattern, it was meditative without being boring and the instructions were well written. Will definitely be making it again!

I started the new year by finishing my first spin on the Schacht Ladybug. I struggled with drive ratios, but overall had a great time.
Simple 3 ply spin, 123 yards and 90 grams, light worsted weight but very dense. Should probably have spun it woolen. :)

If you value research, tell your members of Congress that the NIH needs more than funding. It needs sound leadership.

My most recent #handspun, fresh off of my EEW 6.0 wheel! 🧶
It is a fractal ply / barber pole combination. I spun the blue and brown top as is and split the green and brown top and spun end over end and then spun them together.
505 yds and 232 g, I'm really happy with the twist on this one!

Finally finished Clue 2 of the #MusiKAL. For Clue 3, I had the idea to pre-measure out yarn for each color block to reduce ends to weave in (See annotated photo for what I am going for).
Any suggestions on how many grams I should set aside for each color stripe?
