Subscribe to the BlogWell the plan was to Spin every day the Tour rides; Saturday July 3rd through Sunday July 25th. Days of rest: Monday July 12th, Wednesday July 21st. (Just like the actual tour). And I did! WINNER!! Even got me a Yellow Leader Shirt!
I kinda like this spinning thing but I'm still going to wait until S.A.F.F. in October before I decide to buy a wheel. Sometimes I jump the gun on things and I don't want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a wheel that is just going to sit and collect dust. Like my treadmill did:)
After spinning everyday for almost 23 days straight I really learned a lot. I was amazed at how different fibers like wool and alpaca were so different to spin and that plying isn't scary as I made myself believe it was:)
Like those make-shift bobbins and 'Lazy Kate'? Hey, you use what you have on hand. This was the 100% Super-Wash Merino from Knit Witch
I'm planning to use my first hand spun yarn to make Le Petite Echarpe (Ravelry Link).
Here are the results of 23 days spinning. Not overly impressive but for a Rookie Spindle Spinner and holder of a full time office job, it's not too shabby either.
I think it’s very impressive!
You are amazing! and you deserve that Leader T-Shirt.
Wonderful job! I think you did more on your spindle than i did on my wheel!!
Keep up excellent spinning!
Way to go babycakes! I’m so impressed – and it all didn’t end up unspun by Bart-tina!!! lol
It was fun spinning and learning with you. I hope you keep spinning… I think the wheel is so much easier than the drop spindle. :-)
Congrats!! And your yarns are sooooo beautiful. Can hardly wait to see them fashioned into something else. Gorgeous colors. (They make me drool.)
