Pornariffic..

Spinning plain white fiber can get boring sometimes. That's why I kept dyeing the stuff I had. But sometimes, just plain white is perfect.

Here's my first attempt at spinning a single that I'll be able to use just as is. It was a bit of a struggle to not overtwist it into one big huge curly mass.

Of course, that picture hardly qualifies as yarn porn. So lets get a little closer.

That's better - but still not good enough. How's this though?

Better? I have an even better image of it - but you'll have to click on the photo above to see it! Go ahead, you know you want to!

In related news - I bought a new toy! I love taking close up shots, but often find that even the tiny amount of motion caused when i press the shutter is enough to throw many if my pictures out of focus. So I started searching for a tripod. So humour me here as I unveil what I truly belive is to be the coolest tripod in the world. The Gorillapod.

Cool eh?

How do you like the gorillapod? I've thought about getting one for myself ever sicne I saw it on lifehacker. Is it worth it? Does it work well and stay put?

That is a cool tripod! I may need to find one when I finally get my new camera. Where'd you get it?
