It has been an exciting day here! I didn’t manage to watch any of the cycling as I was out at band practice during the highlights programme, but I have done a bit of spinning, and admired a few new arrivals.<\/p>\n

I was woken up this morning by the postman, but he did have 3 lovely parcels so that made up for it. A book on spinning merino by Margaret Stove:<\/p>\n

\"MerinoBook\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My Moo mini cards<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"MooMiniCards\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and my fibre from Jo<\/a> at Lime Green Jelly<\/a>. Here is 99g of 50% merino, 30% baby alpaca, 20% silk in Poison Ivy:<\/p>\n

\"PoisonIvy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and 48g of 50% faux cashmere, 50% silk in In Dreams:<\/p>\n

\"InDreams\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel I am a proper member of the Lime Green Jelly Tour de Fleece team now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As promised here is the picture of my spinning from yesterday. This is black Shetland spun on Suzie. There is a little short of a 100g. I have another 200g to go.<\/p>\n

In a fit of productivity today I finished my white Dorset fleece! Hooray! This was partially because the last couple of bags were rather felted. Still it is finished.<\/p>\n

\"WhiteDorsetDay18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am going to spin a 3rd bobbin with superwash bluefaced leicester and then ply them all together. I would really like to finish this during the tour, but we shall see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
