As knitter’s we had the “Knitting Olympics,”:http://www.starzabove.com/smilies/JUMP.gif and now for spinners we have the “Tour de Fleece, 2006.”:http://wabisabi.typepad.com/le_tour_de_fleece/ Corresponding with the beginning and ending of the “Tour de France”:http://www.letour.fr/ we will be setting our spinning goals to start on July 1st, as the race begins, and hopefully meeting our goals by the time the race ends on July 23rd.
I must be nuts.
Delayed intelligence.
I just committed to spin up 2 pounds of fiber!?!? That is the bulk of my _’beginner’s stash.’_
But I really do want to spin more. And now’s the time, right, when things are slower, in the summer (at least in my universe).
So, here is my insanity:
p=.
Going clockwise, starting from the bottom, center-
* 8 oz. Blue-Faced Leister Top – white
* 8 oz. Wool/Silk blend top – green and white
* 2 oz. Wool roving – light brown
* 2 oz. Alpaca roving – black and medium fawn
* 9 oz. Finn roving – brown
* 3 oz. Wool roving – olive green (center)
Wish me luck? !http://www.starzabove.com/smilies/JUMP.gif!
O my!! Good luck. I haven’t been spinning much. I need to do more but won’t commit to such madness!!
Love the spin stash! All I have at the moment is plain merino. I can’t wait to see your progress. I’m in the same boat you are with spinner. Brand new and can’t get enough of it.
You are so nutso! With all you have going on right now? I know you will do it though.
