I have joined up with the Team of Wonder again... though the name has changed a little (Team Wonder Why Alpaca Farm), it will always be the "Team of Wonder" to me. :-)
As usual, I plan to post my daily progress in my weekly Fiber Arts Friday Post. But before I get started, I have already started....
This is what my bobbin currently looks like, about 1/2 way thru the first pass, spinning a lace-weight, colored, cotton. I have 5.5 ounces to go.
I will continue to spin this on my wheel and would love to finish it out over the next three weeks. I will also be travelling a couple of days so I will get some drop-spindle work on a currently undecided roving. I have no idea what my "challenge" will be yet either, but I do have a few choices when it comes to prepared camelid, so so I promise to meet the one-and-only requirement for my team. ;-)
My goal again is to spin at least a 1/2 inch each day the Tour races. Most days I will spin more, but I know that some days there will only be a few minutes available.
You should join us, we start tomorrow. ;-)
Happy Spinning and Happy Fiber Arts Friday.
Good luck on the TdF....
ReplyDeleteSpinning each and every day will be a decent challenge for me this year, too, but I am SO looking forward to the Tour!
ReplyDeleteGlad your on the team again. I agree it will always be the Team of Wonder for me too. I plan on spinning lace weight this tour, gulp! That will be my challenge for the whole tour...stay on track will be my motto.
ReplyDeleteI remember one year you posted picture of you spinning on the plane, maybe you'll do it again? Enjoy the Tour!
ReplyDeleteI tried spinning baby camel down once, but found I didn't have the patience for it. I shall try again, because it's so beautiful! Good luck on the Tour!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!
ReplyDeleteOur team will always be the Team of Wonder.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see that cotton fill your bobbins.
