How long did you rest your singles? This has happened to me when my singles had a lot of energy. I wet block to see how the finished ply acts. If it's over or under-plied, I just run it through the wheel again. I notoriously under ply, though I check my balance as I go. Nature of the beast. 🤭

I've had singles rest from 1 day to 2 years. 😂
When I finish the last bobbin on my current spin, I'll most likely ply the next day or the day after.

Yes, I finally watched and this is why I find the world is depressing. It's just about money. Besides crafting supplies, they have infiltrated veterinary services, etc...

I'll also start physiotherapy soon. Still a long road of healing ahead, but at least I can be more productive.

My leg is tolerating being in a sitting position for short spurts and I'm able to spin again for about one hour increments. I need to elevate my leg regularly because the swelling becomes painful. I was given the okay to start partial weight bearing of 25% of my body weight this week. 👏

Thank you. 🙂 Still crazy swollen. The odd twinge, but meds help. I'm on blood thinners because of being immobile. Just overall yuck.
