Fiber Arts Friday: Tour de Fleece, 2025 - part 5

For Part 4 - - I lost a bit of focusing on the fun over the task last week.  So now that I've reached my weight goal for the one skein I've started, I want to continue to practice on just having fun.

TdF Stage 20 - Friday, July 25

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent:  39 minutes
  • How I felt:  I was able to spend a little more time last night and a few different times today.  I'm about half-complete with the plying.  So I'm feeling confident that I will have enough time to let it dry before it needs to be dropped off.  This makes me happy.


TdF Stage 21, TdFF Stage 1 - Saturday, July 26 - TdFF begins

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent:  48 minutes
  • How I felt:  I got a little more done after yesterday's post and was able to complete plying today over 3 different stints.  Yay!


  • 156 total yards of 2-ply.  It's taking a bath now.

TdF Stage 22, TdFF Stage 2 - Sunday, July 27 - TdF ends

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent:  32 minutes
  • How I felt:  It's always fun starting a new skein.


TdFF Stage 3 - Monday, July 28

No spinning today


TdFF Stage 4 - Tuesday, July 29

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent:  22 minutes
  • How I felt: After not spinning yesterday, it felt nice to spin today.
I did get my County Fair Entries delivered today, include my finished skein from earlier this week.  I'm happy with how it turned out.


TdFF Stage 5 - Wednesday, July 30

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 24 minutes
  • How I felt:  I was able to spend much of today watching the County Fair Judging.  This has been on my ToDo List for quite some time and today was the first time I was able to make it happen.  I learned a lot.


TdFF Stage 6 - Thursday, July 31

Tibetan Mastiff:

  • Time Spent: 14 minutes
  • How I felt: It was fun to just spin this afternoon.



Weekly Wrap-up:
  • Days Spent: 17of18 +6of7 = 23of25 days thus far
  • Time Spent: 420 minutes (7hrs) + 210 minutes (3 1/2 hours) = 630 minutes (10 1/2 hours) thus far
  • Overall Feeling:  I wasn't sure how to divide my work for the two days overlap between the Men's and Women's Races, so I am treating each day as one day, in and of itself.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
