I've finally finished the alpaca I've been spinning the last
couple weeks. My goal is to spin enough yarn for a blanket. I stopped to take a
bunch of pictures and show off my spindles. 
Both spindles were spun on my Purple Turkish Spindle. The first was spun a
couple of weeks ago and I finished up the second one last night. I literally
just pulled a chunk off the main ball and spun it. Oddly enough, when plied
they were within 2 feet of the same length! You can see how full my Lacey Top
Whorl is. I just couldn't bring myself to stopping that close to the end.
The next series of photos shows how my Turkish spindle brakes apart to give me
a center pull ball. 
The shaft pulls out.
Then the small cross arm.
Next the large cross arm.
Last you pull out your leader (mine was lime green!) and, like magic, a center
pull ball.
The finished skein was 3oz and 103 yards.
I also dyed the yarn for my first 6 socks project. I attempted to get it as
solid as possible, but I think tone on tone will still show off the stitches
well.
Lastly, I swatched up my Norsk sweater last weekend. After 4 needle sizes the
gauge was perfect! Now I just need to wait 2 more days to cast on!
