A girl and her books, dogs and crafts

I live in the Great Pacific Northwest where I read lots of books, you can check them out in my Shelfari bookshelf to the right. I currently knit and spin and have become more active in the SCA so more sewing! I also do quilt and bead-work and have learned how to Norse wire weave. I do have past experience with crochet and ceramics, but don't do a lot of it now. I may also be lured into weaving in the near future, so life is fun and interesting! Come share my adventures!

Spinning Sunday

I went down to the Central Library for the Spinnerati meeting and had fun. I plied about half of the singles I brought with me. The fun part was trying to load it up to take home and not separate the progress. Managed to do it. I should have taken a photo of the spinning wheel and wheeled tote all strapped to my luggage cart. I noticed I was receiving a few interested looks walking the block to/from the parking garage.

(Love the look Duffy has!)

Stitchjones, aka Sharon, did make it and shared some 1 oz roving samples. I saw that she had some baby alpaca and so it came home with me. It's a dark blue called 'Moon on Libra'. I divided it in half and have spun up the first half ounce. I still have the purple tencel on the other bobbin so have to wait to take it off before I can do the second half ounce:
