TdF: Week One

 I managed to fill a bobbin with half of my Boardwalk Lights fiber this week. I've got so much cotton spun on the Spindolyn I have to wind it off today before I can spin more.  Those two bobbins of the California Red I've been spinning on my little drop spindle are ready for plying. I'll be doing that during this morning's ride.



 I started spinning this leftover fiber from Into the Whirled on three different spindles-just because I can.


Finally I've picked up this old ply-on-the-fly project leftover from last year's Tour. I've already made several balls of yarn this way and knit a sweet pair of mitts I wore a lot this past winter. I've got no plans for this yarn, I just like to spin this way so I'm making more-because I can.

    I really enjoy seeing your progress as you spin! Yesterday was a good stage for me to get some knitting done; I could actually pay attention to a pattern, a least until the last few kilometers!

    The best part of the Tour is our focus on doing what we love just because...
    you have made some beautiful yarns.
