SPINNING CRAZY



This is what happens when you leave a crazy, stressed out, semi-depressed woman alone with fiber and a spinning wheel -- 1500 yards of warp yarn. I took two days and holed up in the house with the loom (two study pieces, pictures to follow) and the spinning wheel. It was delicious and made me long for retirement.

SPINNING PROJECTS - POST MARCH MANIA



The spinning wheel has been flying fast and furious the past three months. These, with the exception of the camel merino which had already been started, were started and finished during this period. The latter are all from the Chameleon Dyeworks Fiber of the Month Club.

Ripe Avocado: 16 ounces of lace weight merino 64, two-ply. This is going be a swirl shawl that I bought the pattern for at SOAR last year.

Camel Merino: 1.5 pounds fingering weight, two=ply purchased from Village Spinning and Weaving in Solvang last summer.

Support the Girls: 16 ounces Falkland, singles. May do a lacy circular vest but still undecided.

Spring Garden: 16 ounces singles. Thinking about All That Jazz Shawl for this one but will have to adjust the gauge.
