Knitting to Stay Sane · Challenging myself, one stitch at a time.
eh, i’ll predraft a little bit if the top is super compact, but overall i’m anti-predrafting. too lazy and in my opinion, not all it’s cracked up to be.
I like predrafting too. I will do it 75% of the time with my spinning fiber.
I do to, it takes me almost as long to pre-draft my fiber as it does for me to spin it. But it’s so worth it for me and my self-taught beginner spinner self. Maybe some day I won’t need to, but for now any excuse to play with fiber suits me fine.
Yep, I do it too. No shame in that.
I’m also a predrafter. Whoo!
That looks so so soft….
I’m just learning to spindle, and since the drafting is what is confusing me most, I’m going to pre-draft, too.
Not being much of a spinner yet, I did some pre-drafting (Louet Northern Lights) and knitted mittens from the roving, then felted them. It was fun to see the colours get more blendy with the predrafting.
I’m a beginning spindler, and pre-drafting is the only way I know how to work, so far. I’m afraid to try it without! And I like playing with it.
I’m learning to spin with a drop spindle currently, so pre-drafting makes it much easier for me to concentrate on what the spindle is doing.
That color blue is so beautiful.
Nice blue! I pre-draft sometimes, but it depends on what fibre I’m using and what yarn I’m trying to achieve.
