Tour de Fleece Update and Mail

I’m about 1/2 way finished with the 2nd bobbin, have missed a few days, hate when life gets in the way of stuff you’d rather be doing. But I’ll be working on catching up and spinning on the riders days off to rest.

2nd picture: I may have accidently purchased something I saw on Etsy, from Friends in Fiber, it was shipped quickly and is gorgeous. I promised myself I wouldn’t buy anymore fiber until I got some of the older things I have spun up. Fail :P. Hopefully I won’t have any more failures, but this was so pretty. Guess I need to quit looking until I have some older stuff spun ;). I am S.A.B.L.E. in fiber (stands for Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy), in the meantime I will leave it out to look at until I have at least one older fiber off the wheel :). Oh, the little piece of fiber at the top of this roving was a sample that was sent with this and the little gold thing is a beautiful charm of a tree of life, so pretty! I will be making this into a stitch marker or a progress keeper. Will show it off when I get it made :).

In the mean time enjoy your knitting or spinning or whatever hobby keeps you busy and happy :).

  1. I’m not sure I Like SABLE… You clearly need to devote more time to your hobbies! Or maybe teach your son to spin so you know it will be in good hands forever after.

    I’m not sure I would have been able to resist the new acquire… It really is beautiful!

    Happy spinning!

    • hehe, I bought my son a EEW 6 electric spinning wheel (very reasonable price about $350 vs $1000 or more for other brands) and he is spinning. He doesn’t spin much in the summer because of how buy he is at the farm, but he has been spinning, which makes me happy, when he sees how much fiber he inherits he will faint dead away LOL. I need to spin faster LOL.

  2. Ah, wish I had your stash problems! πŸ˜€ I’d thought my stash would keep growing to SABLE level too, but I don’t buy much these days since I don’t knit much. I don’t know if I’m disappointed or relieved. πŸ˜‰
