It all looked jolly good fun, and I do enjoy the Tour de France (mostly for the French scenery, I am never very good at keeping up with the whats-what of the cycling), so I have rashly decided to sign up for the Tour de Fleece<\/a>. If a thing is worth doing, its worth overdoing \ud83d\ude42 So I have signed up for the Rookies (beginners), Team UK (fairly self-explanatory), Team Jelly Legs (Jo<\/a>‘s team), and am considering signing up for Team Hopelessly Overcommitted too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I am planning to get to grips with the new wheel, and to spin every day, although I am going to be starting on the back foot as I am going to the Knitting and Crochet Guild<\/a> AGM on the day the Tour starts, so wont get very much spinning done then. Hopefully I will do a bit of knitting though. I got my first ever raw fleece (well fleece and a half) from Janine at knitting and spinning group a month or so ago, so I am hoping to finish spinning that during the Tour. I have cleaned it all now, and had a slighly unfortunate felting moment with some of the grey, which has now been given to Mummy for her to do something artistic with. I have started spinning the grey (the half is grey, although it is a big half, and the other fleece is white), but haven’t got very far yet.<\/p>\n

I have even got a new ravatar to mark the occaision.<\/p>\n
