Yesterday I spun up the blue/green BFL, but today I couldn't even look at it because there's so much more of it to spin. Instead, I pulled out some fiber generously donated to me by Sojourn Knitter. It's 2 ounces of merino/kid mohair 70/30, in Sands of Utah from Capistrano Fiber Arts Studio.
It spun up lickety split and turned out as soft as butter! I only wish there was more of it because two ounces isn't going to get me very far. It didn't even fill up a bobbin.
The handsome young man holding the bobbin only posed for the picture because he wanted something. Goodness knows when I need him for help with pictures he always runs in the other direction!
He quickly lost interest in what I wanted to do as soon as he found out that there wasn't enough fiber to make him a pair of socks! LOL
I also made another attempt to spin 100% bamboo, but my skill at spinning does not extend to slippery fiber that's too shiny to make anything with anyway. I'll figure out what to do with it while I pray someone has some helpful hints for me. Help!
Tomorrow is another day of spinning, so tonight I'm going to prep something.
I was off from work this week and I totally enjoyed spinning every day (and squeezing in some chores). This is the life! It'll all come to a screeching slow down on Monday. I'll be spinning at 8p and posting at goodness knows what time.
And to my non-spinning readers, thanks for putting up with all of this. Knitting is coming soon.
