Tour de Fleece: Planning

Okay, okay, I know, I know... I am very late on this... I have been in the group. In fact, I have already joined all my teams! What's that? You want to know, oh alright! You win!

This year, is my first time doing the tour! I am so excited!

So, since it is my first year, I have joined the Rookies. I have also decided to join a couple   lot more. I have joined Team Spin Your Stash, Team Must Stash Podcast, Team House Cup, Team Spindlers, Team Wooly Wonka, Team Daybreak Dyeworks, Team Lantern Rouge, Team Greenwood Fireworks, and Team I Have No Idea What I Am Doing.

That is a lot, do you think that is too much?

I have some more awesome news! So now that Tour de Fleece is coming up, my step dad and I have some plans. We are going to build me a spinning wheel! It is going to be smallish! I am a short gal, so it has to be my size so that when I sit down, I can still reach it... We are going to build it out of wood and a bike tire as the wheel! I am so excited about this!

Spinning Upate: New Spindle!

So sorry for such a late post! This weekend has been so hectic! But, I just wanted a quick post to show you what I bought myself! You guessed it, a SPINDLE! I am so happy about this!

It is a spindle that I got from Spinatude on etsy! It was $25 plus $5 shipping! Very affordable for such a good quality!

I really like this spindle! I was very hesitant to get it, because some of her feedback said that they were wobbly... Mine is a little wobbly in the beginning, but it is very doable! I really love it! If you have a chance to get one of her spindles, I totally recommend it! They are all one-of-a-kind spindles! Very cute!

Spinning Update: Better Late Than Never

To be honest with you guys, Friday has been a very busy day for me! First of all, it was my last day of school. I met up with my grandma, who was just passing through my town on her way to Seattle. We ended up waiting for her for 4 hours! So, we went out to dinner, instead of lunch. I got home around 6, and just fell on the couch and turned on some Harry Potter, and started spinning. Oh spinning, this is what you are here for! Without further ado, here is my week!

I have been spinning up my Daybreak Dyeworks Merino braid I got, well one of the 3 I got from her. It is in the "Spring-like" colorway!

I had to order some more of her fiber! So, here is everything I got, well not everything. I have some samples to spin up for you guys to look at, too!

Let's start with the Team Braid for TdF!

Next is the "Whisper" colorway. I will spin this up and knit my mom something out of it. She loves purple!

And my favorite for last! I did a custom order for this one. I love how it turned out!

Look she named it after me!

Lastly, she added a total surprise! Okay, here is the story, she had spun this up from some fiber she dyed with the end of her dye. It turned out to be different shades of pink. Well, I commented on it, I guess multiple times. So, she decided that I needed some more yarn, or something. She sent it to me with my parcel!

I also have another team braid. I got two. I did not get a decent picture of that one. I do have two, though. The other one, is must brighter. The pink is way more neon and the browns are much darker! But, I have to say, I do love how this one is much more muted!

Sorry, that I posted this late this week. Happy Fibering! You can find me on ravelry at Punkin97
