(why didn't I get a laptop sooner?)
Any way.... you may remember a while back I started spinning the fiber we received from our guild for our holiday project. We received 5 little bags, 1 oz in each bag, of a different type of fiber. Remember?
This project is due the first weekend of December. I have 3 skeins done and started the forth. I am not nervous, I am not nervous, I am not nervous...... I will get it done, yes. Indeed.
Here is the 3rd skein:
mmmmm.....alpaca (50), merino (30), silk (20) I only got around 133 yards of this. Not worried. I have around 390 yards total for all 3. Plenty!
Here is what I have started next:
Here is what the top looks like:
It's superwash merino/bamboo/nylon. Lovely lovely stuff!
Why not a group shot?
I was wondering why the middle skein always looked fuzzy, then I realized it wasn't the camera! It's the angora. mmmmmm....say it with me now.... A N G O R A
Not to be left out is my last bit to spin:
This my friends is superwash merino and tencel. After that? What to make! I got plans oh yes. Big plans!
Stay tuned to see how much of a BIG GEEK I really am!

ReplyDeleteHello Miss Geek
ReplyDeleteYour dying is gorgeous!! The spinning is beautiful also. I have deciding if I want to try it, but can't buy a wheel. Was your spinning done with just a little bitty spindle?? i'll wait to hear. Maybe there is hope for me & spinning. pjd.
