66 stitches? What size needle are you using, a 1? Jeez, for a sock to even make it over my small ankles requires at least 72 and more likely 80 stitches when I'm doing socks.

Then again, I hear I'm not the norm, and that perhaps I carry too much tension in my yarn (better than my shoulders, though!).

Also, I haven't been replying to your comments on my blog because I'm not getting an email for you from them. I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't ignoring you.

Looks like things are going well for you. Don't start thinking now! :-)

Every time I've knit with Lorna's Laces, no matter how many patterns I swatch, it always spirals like that for me. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!

I can't get 72 sts to fit around my 12" needle without out terribly stretching it out - how do you do it??

PS - fiber and socks look great - I like the darker colors!

Those bobbins are gorgeous, like art in itself! I have also been doing the totally mindless stockinette sock lately.

Those bobbins are so pretty.

Your spinning looks amazing; you are a quick study! It looks so great. I love the sock - it looks really good (66 stitches seems like alot to me; I just knit a sock on 2.5mm and I decreased the stitches from 64 to 58 and it was fine - think it depends on the yarn).

I quite like the pooling, cool diagonal stripes. And the spinning is perfectly lovely, gleaming colours. Can't wait to see how it plies. I don't recall whether you said your going to Navajo ply or ply two bobbins or what.

Wow! I like the sock! Looks like a stair step design more than pooling to me. Like it! Your handspun is out of this world! Gorgeous!

my last pair of socks pooled like crazy but i didn't care either :) sometimes it's the pooling that really gives it character!

Oooh! Your spinning looks fantastic!

Yay, spinning!!!

Your spinning is super gorgeous! Love that blue moon colorway.

Ohhh what pretty spinning. I finally have found my spinning mojo again too. But nothign so pretty, just natural colored Jacob's wool. But I think next week I'm going to infuse color into my spinning as well as the nautral colored stuff.

I have the 12 inch addi's too and like them very well, except for when I get to the heel and/or toes. But it's nice, especially in a simple pattern to just go round and round and not think about changing needles.

That is because she has the smallest ankles known to man! Just ask Cookie.

Very pretty colors; very fall-esque.

As a non-spinner I am most impressed, your yarn looks great! I like the way the pooling is making stripes, makes it look purposeful!

Your singles are very beautiful. I love those colors.

If all pooling happened that nicely, I wouldn't complain. I like the swirls. It is the lumps of color that I dislike.

Wow, your spinning looks amazing! And such beautiful colors! As for the sock, at least it's pooling evenly, right?

I don't think the sock is pooling but striping. It's very pretty.

Gorgeous.

I've been keeping a list of LL that spirals and LL that doesn't. If anyone knows of more, please let me know at www.threefates.wordpress.com and I'll put together a post about it when I get enough reports.

My watercolour embossed leaves did spiral.
My pomatomus mixed berries did not. Was it the pattern or the yarn, I hope to find out someday.

I am in LOVE with the sock, the pooling/striping is awesome! I totally get the need for mindless stockinette, I've assigned myself to nothing but clapotis until it's done, and those twisted stitches are pissing me off, everytime I get a rhythm, it's time to twist.

Beautiful spinning!

wow, nice work on the spinning. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that you posted about wanting to get a wheel. Now you're a pro!
