Tour de Fleece 2008 update

I did finish spinning all of my fiber from Etsy's CJ Kopec creations. I don't have all of it off the spindles yet. This is my first time at spinning something other than practice fibers. I'm happy with the result and with the 4 oz I spun, I hope to knit a hat to wear while I'm dog walking. It is soft and I love the colors! Thanks also to Knitwitch, I bought a spindle bowl and without that I wouldn't have gotten it all spun. It really speeded things up. All of this has really gotten me hooked on spinning. Now I need a hat pattern.....giggles You know how I love to shop, I found the cutest little drop spindle earrings on Etsy . I think I need a pair!! Technorati Tags: le Tour De Fleece 2008

Wouldn't you like to be knitting here...

Summer Knitty is out

The Summer Knitty is out ! There are some great things in it, as always. Don't forget to check out the Knitty spin sections. The calender contest deadline is approaching, if you dare enter. Give it a shot. This has my rapt attention right now (Sea Tangles). Sounds easy and would be nice to throw over all kinds of pieces. Also found a good spinning link Spinning Down Under, good info and tons of interesting links. I've been working too much, I hate it when that happens, and my head gets all wrapped up in the work drama. All work and no play makes me a dull girl.
