Weekend Blather

Don't let the title fool you. It's Monday night and apparently I never posted this! It's been really busy around here. End of the marking period grades and a paper for my course ate up most of my weekend, but I did get to finish spinning and plying the roving I dyed last month.

I ended up spinning long draw and plying. The singles just didn't sample well for me. I have such a lofty, soft yarn - well, relatively soft, it is Romney after all. It still looks like good mitten yarn. I haven't counted yardage yet to see if there's enough for a hat too.

Conferences on Wednesday. That will give me some knitting time.

Gorgeous colors in that yarn. I'm also thinking mittens for something I spun recently that's not supersoft.

Woohoo! I just love piles of handspun yarn. Looks fabulous, makes me envious :-).

It never fails to surprise me how much spinning transforms the colors in a sliver. I love the yarn!

WOW! Gorgeous yarn. I'm just now discovering how much I like Romney :-)

Sure looks like plenty of yardage! The colors are beautiful. I've just reserved a Romney fleece at Skylines Farm and shearing day is Saturday-can't wait!

I absolutely love the colorline, you did such a great job with that! I'm very curious to seeing what you're gonna make with it! Best wishes from Austria!

Your yarn makes me feel warm all over! The colors are great and will make wonderful winter things.

You know what's funny? As soon as I clicked on one of the pics, I could have sworn that I could smell the shampooed, wooly smell with that citrusy undertone still remaining from the dyebath. Yummy . . .
