Oh all right!
After two and a half years of waffling back and forth on whether to just delete this blog, I have decided to give it another go. I have been spinning quite a bit lately and have some fabulous new fibers coming soon that I just have to show off! Only problem is that I need another spinning wheel so I can be just as ADD at spinning as I am at knitting. My boyfriend is quick to add his smart ass "which one?!" when folks ask what I am working on. I have at least 8 things on various needles (including the infamous Picasso wallhanging, guh!). There are another 5 or so projects that have pattern and yarn in a ziplock patiently waiting their turn.
Spinning is so relaxing to me though. I am currently spinning some pink and yellow sherbert merino roving from Lorna's Laces. It is supposedly only 10oz but I think that is a lie. I keep spinning and spinning and spinning and I still have half a bag left, wahhhhhh. I am spinning at a lace weight which I intend to Navajo ply so it will be a three ply. I have one bobbin full of a single. Looks like two to go. Maybe three. I broke down and ordered another three bobbins for my Ashford Traveller. I am very careful to stay focused so far. My goal in life is to keep tight rein over the WPI of the single. So far so good. But that means that I can't spin my newest fiber candy until I am done.
Some other new things for me: Ravelry account! What a cool program that I don't have time for, LOL. I have all but stopped reading Knitty. If it weren't for the Knittyblog updates, I would forget to check for new issues. Still love me some Knitty though. I checked the board the other day and still see some folks I recognize but SOOOOOO many new folks. Etsy! Good grief what a lot of shiny, pretty things! Must. Not. Look. One of my favorite sellers is Loop and I have recently added her as my drug supplier. Here is her Ravelry group. Check this out. And this. And this. Can't wait to spin! I already have the Chocolate Liquer batts in hand and you have never felt a softer thing in your life. The other two are on their way. Gotta finish the pink merino first, must finish, must.
