So it is summer in the city. I am currently spinning my BFL /silk roving from West Coast Fibres that I bought when I was in Olds last month. This is part of my efforts for Ravelry Tour de Fleece 2014 - in which Teams from all over the world with wild and wooley team names like "I Got Ewe Babe" "Russian Underpants" "Into the Whirled" and "Team Tardis" all happily spin and co-mingle.
We share our glories (spun 3 1/2 inches of cobweb singles today!) our challenges (rider down! broken drive band! cracked a bobbin on the final stretch!) and our distractions (rats! family in from other side of the planet just arrived - glad to see them but didn't they know I'm spinning for the yellow jersey this year?)
We've had a few smokin' hot days along the way - and I admit I've taken a few "unauthorised" rest days. But I've always climbed back in the saddle. My goal it to get all my 200+ gms spun, plied, skeined, washed and set by next week Sunday.
Wish me luck - and happy spinning!
