Climbing.....



Picture taken July 6th

Making little progress on the spinning, but still have managed to spin each day since July 5th. Last night the power went out and I was unable to make more progress and post about my progress. The roving spins nicely. I'm not getting it quite as even as I would like but that is largely because I'm still trying to figure out my wheel. My bobbin is about half full now.


Last may I sold my Ashford Kiwi and bought a used Schacht Matchless single treadle.

Tour de Fleece





My challenge is to spin a little each day from my stash. With a five almost six month old spinning time has been nonexsistent I think I'll start with some Lorna's Laces roving I picked up last year on vacation. I bought it from Yarn Expressions in Huntsville, Alabama. It's beautiful and a shame it's just sitting there. I'm thinking about a worsted weight, but it could be something different once I start spinning. Even though I signed up a day late, I did gather it up yesterday!
