Tour de Fleece - and PRIZE!!!

So, I haven't posted here for a little bit, I have no good excuse other than spinning for Tour de Fleece! I finished 1 yarn.

This is the "Spring-Like" colorway of Daybreak Dyeworks! It was spun on "Kandy" my cupcake spindle from Spinatude!

So, in the Dodec and Porter Wheel group, I got a prize! A $25 giftcard to any etsy shop! What!? So, you want to know what I got, don't you! :P

My very first pair of sock blockers! I am SO excited you have NO idea! I have always wanted some sock blockers, but never had money to get them! 

Onto knitting, I know this is a spinning blog, but I know many of my readers knit, too! So here is my newest FO, my baby socks for my friends new grandson!

I really like how they turned out and there will be a new lucky baby to have some socks!

Dudey The Dodec!

So, my friend Sarah that I met on Ravelry is around the same age as me. She told me about a spinning wheel that you could make for very low cost, it is called the Dodec! When I saw it, it was genius! I just HAD to make one! :D I told my step dad about it, and two weeks later we bought all the supplies! We started Saturday, July 6, 2013, and finished Tuesday, July 9, 2013. It was a pretty easy wheel to build! I even started my first yarn on it last night! I finished later that night! When I woke up this morning, I went to go spin on it. I was just spinning on it right before this post, and the peg popped off! Oh no! So, no more spinning on it for a while until my step dad gets home! Anywho, here is a picture of my wheel that I took yesterday!
