Tour de Fleece

My goal was three skeins completed. I reached four. Good job!

I had hoped to spin every day, but knew it would be iffy, what with the vacation and all. I made a valiant attempt. I took the spindle and roving along, but it was not to be. Too much to do, too much to see. Very well.

Along the way, I learned from Maggie Casey’s book, Start Spinning, and feel more confident in teasing and carding the fleece, and in setting the final twist. Much more confident. Well done

(And thank you, Maggie, for selling me, Betsy, the Flying Lendrum, too!)

All in all, I feel I crossed the finished line, victorious, with only a scrape or two! I award myself ‘Le Maillot Jaune’! And the crowd goes wild…..

Next up…..Ravelympics! I play for Team Colorado, Event Baby Dressage.
You are dying to know, aren’t you?

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
