Fiber Arts Friday: Tour de Fleece, 2025 - part 3

For Part 3 - - My goal this week is to continue to spin for the Joy of it.

TdF Stage 7 - Friday, July 11

No Spinning today.

Having tweaked my back last Thursday morning, I decided to let it rest one more day.


TdF Stage 8 - Saturday, July 12

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 14 minutes
  • How I felt:  I was feeling significantly better this morning.  Spinning makes me happy.


TdF Stage 9 - Sunday, July 13

No Spinning today.


TdF Stage 10 - Monday, July 14 - Challenge Day

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 10 minutes
  • How I felt: My brain and day was full.  I have one more major thing to get done today, but decided to spin for about 10 minutes to give my brain a rest...  So today, my challenge was just to spin.  :-)


TdF  - Tuesday, July 15 - Rest Day

Tibetan Mastiff: 

  • Time Spent: 18 minutes
  • How I felt:  While today was supposed to be a Rest Day, it was nice have a break in the middle of the day that allowed for a bit of spinning.


TdF Stage 11 - Wednesday, July 16

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 27 minutes
  • How I felt:  After several extremely full days, today was more relaxed and I was able to spin some over the afternoon.  Feels nice.

TdF Stage 12 - Thursday, July 17

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 24 minutes
  • How I felt:  It was nice to spin while listening to the news and not feel rushed for other things that must be done today.


Weekly Wrap-up:
  • Days Spent:  5 of 6 days + 5 of 6 days = 10 of 12 days thus far
  • Time Spent: 137 minutes (2:17) + 93 minutes (1:33) = 3 hrs 50 minutes thus far
  • Overall Feeling:  I have started to wonder how much I’ve spun…. and since I didn’t weigh the prepared fiber, nor have I weighed the bobbin I’m using, nor have I kept track of how many balls of roving I’ve completed, I really don’t know. Apparently I took myself seriously when I embarked upon this year being about fun and not task completion.  This is good for me.  But it also means that my type-A self is starting to get itchy about the county fair deadline and the fact that each skein must be at least 2 ounces in order to be entered. sigh.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
