One does not simply spin a sweater. One needs to plan ahead, think about how to spin the fiber.

| Rovings! |
First, I all had was a pile of 6 unorganized (but gorgeous!) braided roving. A mess.
Aah... this looks better. All side by side. Neat. But yet, my only weapon is a tiny drop spindle! I need to think about how to attack those seductive rovings. I know that my yarn has to be a 4 ply to be a worsted weight yarn. I know how I spin, and the 3 ply I spun turned out to be more of a DK weight than a worsted. So 4 ply it is.
Let the spinning begin...

Quel beau projet ! Mais c'est tout un mystère pour moi sur la façon de procéder. Étant donné que je suis une personne curieuse, je vais aller lire sur le sujet et surtout suivre tes messages. :-)
I don't think you're crazy at all ... I think you are amazing to attempt this! Your rovings are gorgeous.
I'm just getting back into spinning on a spindle myself and I'm really excited to see your process.
