Let the Spin Begin


I got up at 6 am yesterday to watch the Opening Ceremony on the NBC live stream. It was worth it. I enjoyed every second without the jibber jabber of the commentators and the commercial breaks. I pre-drafted my Olympic fiber while I watched-in bed on the laptop. 


As careful as I was, dyeing did a number on the Corriedale. It needed a good fluffing. I was just finishing when they lit the torch.


There is no rhyme or reason. I just turned it all into pencil roving so I could spin without paying attention to what my hands doing.


I watched it again on prime time and was not impressed with the coverage but I was impressed with the fiber. This is going to be a great spin.

    Pretty yarn! Wasn't that torch lighting ceremony impressive? It must have been great to watch without commercials! (just a tad early though)

    Yay for happy fiber!

    I finally had to just turn off the TV. Katie Couric is just plain annoying.

    Fun! Now why didn’t I think of watching it live? I got frustrated and turned it off about an hour ago. Without seeing the torch lit.
    Your roving looks great and so does your spinning!
    Blessings,

    I tried to watch last night but just kept getting distracted. I did love the guy from Tonga? Is that where that bare chested athlete was from?

    I didn't watch. I heard the live stream was much better. Colin said they watched, but he fell asleep!

    I LOVED the opening ceremonies. The tiger puppet was wonderful. IM so glad they mixed old puppetry with modern stuff. I get tired of all the fantastical computerization. Im very happy the Games have begun.

    I think the spin is way more important than the Olympics, so you go!

    What a lovely colored fiber for a good spin!
    I'm glad you enjoyed the coverage-I watch Little Bear and Peppa Pig......
