How My Garden Grows

See the bean patch, Mom B? The beans started blooming this week. And the flower gardens are getting prettier every day.

Tour de Fleece Week 2 Finished Yarns.... including the Mile that Wasn't

This 3 ply Dragonfibers BFL is fiber that I won for the picture that Verity took of me spindling on the first day of the tour. It is destined to become mittens for her, I think.





No, I haven't spun a mile of yarn in a day, and perhaps I don't even have the ability to do so.....yet. But this blue yarn is my first try...... 900 yards of spindle spinning, 300 yards of wheel plying in one day.

Tour de Fleece Week 1 Finished Yarns.

Next week: Can I spin a mile of yarn in one day?

A beautiful start to the Tour and the day!

Dear Winners.....

I haven't forgotten about you! I've collected all the necessary ingredients, and once I put them all together, your packages will be on the way. I plan to post them on Friday, so look for them next week!

Teaching Spindling

Today was my first time teaching a little spindling workshop... I had four fine students, and had such a fun time teaching them! We did have some good times, though from their rapt expressions you might not guess it.



Then there was Francie, who seemed to take an interest in spindles herself.



And I met Maple, whose blog I read regularly. She gave me some lovely soft alpaca clouds to take home. Woot!

All at Cary's serene farm.... where the weather was perfect for spinning on the lawn.
