As the spinning wheel turns

Sounds like a Soap Opera. That's my life. A soap opera, without the drama, money, multiple partners, agelessness.... ok so my life isn't at all like a soap opera. Thank goodness!

My spinning wheel has been turning quite a bit lately. Yesterday I showed off the rainbow yarn. Its so much prettier than the photo (isn't that always the case) and I showed off the bobbin from the secret pal roving. I finished off that bobbin and 2 more, Now I'm trying to decide if I use it as singles or do I ply it? I've also been promising Mandy red photos. We shipped our trades off yesterday and I said I wanted the painting to be a big surprise. I am on pins and needles waiting for it to get here. But since I asked for no photo, I can't give you one of Mandy red. Well. I'll put it here and if Mandy wants to see it, she can click away. Can you resist the click?

I wanted to clean up my bobbins today and decided just willy nilly to ply 2 of them together. One was left over red from this project:

and the other was from a a completely different color range.
Combined they look like I cleaned out the shelves of a candy store.

Click to see it large and in charge.
I think I need to make more of this on purpose.

You know I'll be spinning for a while too. That package yesterday really got me moving but I also got in a pattern that I had ordered in June when I was at Morehouse Merino in NY. Lola and the photo here doesn't do the pattern justice or maybe they changed it in the 2 months I was waiting for it. Here it looks alot like another pattern that I could have adjusted. I may have to just go from memory now and try duplicate the one that they had as a sample in June.

I'm thinking it would be nice in the wool I just finished, but I don't think I have enough. I do know that I have enough of the batt I got from Indigo moon in February of this year. I just hadn't had a project I wanted to do with it until now. I think the silk merino blend will be perfect for lace singles.


Anybody know where I can buy more time. I have all these ideas but I could use a little more time.

A copyright is a copyright is a copyright. Don't copy copyrighted things without permission. You'll notice my stuff is all copyrighted. Its all for personal use and that's cool. That's sharing. Copying and selling my pattern is stealing. Same for all designers and their patterns. Play well and don't break copyright law. Share nice.

Sharing certainly doesn't mean you can Steal bandwidth. Hotlinking is very bad.

Share nice and I'll be your buddy, be a troll and I'll torch all your needles.
