That and the fiber sucked.. lol Well, part of the problem is for as fine and as fast as draftiing the single, I’d have been better off at about a 14:1ratio – on the hitchhiker I basically have to treadle twice to compensate and remind myself I needed more twist, and it’s not an easy pattern to fall into.

Nice to meet another soaker-knitting mama on the craftster! P.S. - I can't wait to see how your Rose does. I'm holding out for a majacraft as my travelling wheel, but it will be a long time coming.
