I succeeded at navajo plying on the first try! I make my loops too small, but that can be fixed next time when I spin a significant amount of yardage (this little sampler is only a few feet long). I should have tried this a long time ago but I thought it would be more difficult.

It's kind of crummy because I didn't take care to spin evenly... and I didn't choose colors I particularly like either. I was so convinced I would mess up that I didn't want to waste time or effort, now I kind of wish I had picked something pretty. Next time.
