Loomy Thoughts

Hmm...

Wow this summer has gone by fast.  Let me see if I can remember what I've been up to - I've been concentrating more on my exercise routines so I haven't accomplished much.

I did get out to the woodshop to turn an experimental spindle style in late May/early June:

I think I like the general style, but it's on the heavy side so it's a slooow spinner. :-) 

I did the May weaving on the Sky Scarf (right now I'm only halfway through June :-/):

Instead of doing the Tour de Fleece this year I did the Relaxacon in Ravelry's Spindle Candy group, which was much more my speed. :-)  So I did some spindle spinning:

I made some good progress on these spindles, but it doesn't look like much. :-)  I also bought a few spindles during and after, but I didn't too badly, especially as I didn't buy any fiber for me the whole time (pats self on back):



And I've actually been doing a tiny bit of spinning on my tiny Russian.  It's not the best spindle ever, but it came off the lathe long before I was done shaping it so I have hopes for the next one:



Also I'm shopping for a new floor for the kitchen - that's definitely using up a lot of energy.

To end on a fluffy note:

:-D
