Only 5 grams spun today, but then, I didn’t spend much time behind the wheel. To reach my goal of having all 360g spun and plied, I will need to make my way through at least 15g per day for spinning the singles, which will give me just shy of a week to ply it all. Best get treadling!
So I’m spinning REALLY fine.
I’m really happy with how this is spinning up. The colours are gorgeous! Well, my plan was 1800m of suri alpaca laceweight. Unfortunately when I was prepping yesterday, the particular fleece I had been working with was not working with me. So the Suri is out for this challenge.
I will post pictures at the end of each spinning day to show my progress. If you love vintage and retro fashion, then you should already be following Tart Deco! If you haven’t found her yet, then go check her out now, as she’s having a brilliant giveaway!! So get gussied up and get your entry in!
Well.. my shawl is… I’m a little chuffed, to be honest. This is the June cover for the Knitters’ Guild NSW newsletter. It really is an honour to have my work spotlighted like this. So I didn’t quite make every day… 8 days missed, but some days had 2 posts.. What did I find out about myself by really trying to blog every day? That I am totally boring at the moment! But that’s ok I’m so busy at the moment! I’m about to start an event called “Tour de Fleece”. Essentially you set a spinning goal, and during they days that the Tour de France is cycled, you spin. There are a couple of days that are ‘rest’ days, so these days you’re not allowed to spin. To prepare for this, I have to finish off what’s on the wheel, and prep some fleece to spin. My goal is 1800m of 2ply laceweight Suri Alapca. Ambitious.. no? Today’s post is all about my hands… or at least things that are going to adorn that area. In the last week I have been very fortunate to receive some gifts that will allow me to make my hands pretty.
I also finally got my Mother’s Day present from my husband & son. It’s been on layby for a few months, but I’ve been looking for it for years. I have always found it hard to find a style of watch (that isn’t antique) that suits me. It had to be oval, silver and a fairly low profile. Thank goodness I found this watch, as I was starting to get a bit over using my phone as a watch all the time. What I love is that it will look good with any ‘era’ of clothing too. Dressed up, or dressed down.

I do, however, have approximately 360g of lovely Angorino from 
I know it’s a passing thing, because I have so much planned!
