Still spinnin'...

But how can I stop when this comes in the mail?

The pink is actually paler, and the green is more vivid, and not only is it shiny but it has sparkles in it! - and these are so not my colors, but I couldn't resist when I saw the name of the batt - "Pixie Farts"!  And it had been raining here for about 5 days straight and I needed something bright.  I'll probably be splitting this with a spinning buddy - it's only 4 ounces but I haven't a clue as to what I'm going to do with it. :-)  edited to add: Fiber comp is merino and Firestar.

The seller (Corgi Hill Farm on Etsy) also included this little gem:

I don't know what I'm going to do with this either but wow is it bright and sparkly!

I plyed the milk fiber and the black alpaca that I had been spinning on the Spindolyns; it has yet to be washed and wow you sure can tell how uneven my spinning is, but it looks kinda cool:

(plyed on the Pedal Pusher)

And yeah, it looks like I overplyed part of it again. (sigh)  Hopefully washing will relax it a bit.  I also got to try out my new Babe toy - a skeinwinder that sits in the top of the Production.

It worked surprisingly well, considering I left the bobbin on the Pedal Pusher. :-D  I think I'll like this gadget!  I have 3 bobbins to ply of the red colonial too, but those bobbins are a whole lot fuller than the Spindys were, so I'll leave that for another weekend.

I didn't get any weaving done yet this weekend - but I still have a couple of hours!

Lazy Dog says 'Hi!' :-D

It's been awhile...

I haven't really been accomplishing much though.  I worked on the Harp's log cabin project yesterday, and can see light at the end of the tunnel.  Once I get that off the loom I'm hoping to finish the Brooks Bouquet project on the Flip, and then finish the rug.  By then I will have thoroughly checked out Sara Lamb's new weaving book for a new project. :-)  I'm semi-tempted to try out the floor loom too - maybe over Christmas I'll get around to that.

In spinning news, the bobbins are almost full on both the Polonaise and the Production. WHEW!  And I finally fixed (I think) the annoying click from the Pol's footman having a little too much travel by stuffing some wool in-between the metal rod and the wooden dowel.  But I have a lot of spinning left to do on all my projects (maybe I shouldn't have so much going at once?).

Since everything looks the same, I didn't take any photos.  It rained all day so I couldn't even get a decent nature pic.  Maybe next time. :-)
