The urge to spin has been strong with me lately. VERY strong … and Dave and his beautiful handspun hasn’t helped. ( If you haven’t seen his work, go. Now. … just don’t forget to come back. )
I had to lay off spinning for 2 months due to hayfever which increases my sensitivity to wool (which gave new meaning to the term ‘itchy fingers’. ugh!) Anyway, as I was saying … Sure I could spin another fiber, but being the stubborn person that I am, I wanted to spin something that I already had.
Remember this literal eye candy? (The roving is called ‘I Want Candy’)
Well, look for me to spin this soon… after Sockapalooza when I can take the time to pre draft it and then maybe, finally, my spindle will stop staring at me. (Yes, I know it’s an inanimate object. What’s your point? )
Oh well … back to sock knitting…
YES.YOU.MUST.SPIN!!!!!!!!
Do it now!
Roving that pretty MUST be spun. It’s just not right to let it sit…
It does look like candy!
Thanks for the lovely comment about my Bayerische socks. That roving is YUMMY!
