... and I survived! So to celebrate, I'm having a sale over at my Ravelry store... 10% off any patterns bought through Ravelry.
So, how did I do on my spinning goals, you may ask. Well, I finished the CVM roving, which turned out very nicely. I worked on the silk thread, until I discovered a spot where the roving (neatly wrapped around a pencil) had become one with itself, so I gave up. I spun my suri alpaca to a very fine lace weight on my favorite spindle, but broke the spindle (it has been dropped one too many times!). I did not, however, finish the baby alpaca fleece. This is entirely due to how thin I'm spinning it -- it two plies to a heavy lace weight! I have finished 1310 yards, and have a bobbin and a half of finished singles, which I think is pretty darn good. Hopefully I will be able to keep my spinning mojo going and finish it soon!
Did you spin for the Tour? I'd love to hear about how you did. I'm already excited for next year!
Yikes! Spinning lace is a victory in itself! Good job. I don't think I will ever spin lace...I prefer the fact that I can spin anywhere from fingering to bulky without a struggle. I hope you will post photos of what you did accomplish.
