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
