I've been spinning again...

Still a bit under the weather with the cold/upper respiratory thing, but getting better.  Took Friday off to recuperate and enjoy the one day of warm temps (though no sunshine) and it was actually nice enough to spin on the deck for a couple of hours.

But first, I plyed the mill-end roving that I had finished spinning on the Production's new delta flyer:

and wound it into a hank.  There is a drawback to the delta flyer, which I have e-mailed Babe's about so we'll see what they say (the rings are so big they cut into the plying-bobbin's space by about a 1/2 inch, cutting down on needed capacity).

 I can't decide - should I try cable-plying it now?  Or leave it as is?



This is what I started on the deck:

I'm spinning the Lapis merino/baby camel/tussah silk blend on the Polonaise, and did about 1/3 of it Friday.  I've since finished the first half and have started on the second, though I got lazy and didn't do nearly as much spinning as I planned Saturday and Sunday.  Isn't it beautiful??  Easy to spin, and seems to be going unusually quickly for me!  Too bad I don't have Monday off too as I'd get the singles done. :-D

Nothing much to report again...

I've been down with the cold or whatever it is that is going around like wildfire here - haven't even been interested in spinning.

Though right before I came down with it, I made the 'mistake' of visiting Corgi Hill Farm's Etsy page again and a couple days later these arrived on my doorstep:

merino/baby camel/tussah silk

and:

BFL

I so wanted to get to them right away, but I still don't have any energy. :-(  I did fiddle with this some yesterday:

A delta flyer attachment from Babe's (I ordered mine with a rounded wire instead of triangular).  I've been debating whether I should keep the Bulky Pinkie, as I think I have too many wheels - I have a project going on every single spinning device I have (except for the drop spindles) so nothing ever gets finished.  This would take the place of the BPinkie - though the BPinkie is so darned portable and I do like to spin on it.  I'm going to do the last bobbin of what I've been spinning on the BPinkie on the new attachment to get a feel for it, but so far I like spinning on it.  It really does make more sense than having a wheel just for a delta flyer, but it's so hard to part with a wheel!
