The Week October 2-8

Last week:

• Take fancy final project photos of Inamara, which involves getting Mr. Q & his photog skills.
  Ugh – I still need to do this.
• Carry on with (S)urge, the new shawl.
  Making progress!
• Spin, whether it’s handpainted or some of the fleece from my stash.
  I started and finished spinning fleece from my stash. All the details on it are here, but I spun 378 yards of a 3 ply sport-ish weight yarn, with a 2 ply and singles left over. I couldn’t wait for Spinzilla.
• Ruminate further on a new embroidery project or, you know, actually start one.
  I ruminated and cleaned up my project basket, but didn’t start anything new.

This week:

I’m taking precious time away from the wheel to take care of some non-spinning stuff and then it’s back to the grindstone! What’s Spinzilla, you ask? All the details are here, but it’s basically a week-long spin-a-thon. (Hey! That rhymes!) I’m almost 2/3 of the way through my first braid of fiber and actually considering drinking some coffee so I can stay up later and spin more! (That’s probably a bad idea and I don’t think I’ll do it, but the thought is there!) Have a great week!
