Purpley Fiber Goodness
It has been so long since I've sat down at Lennie and spun anything. I've been watching lots of bloggers' spinning progress and I was feeling a little guilty about not making time to spin. So, Sunday it was cold and windy and I spent the entire day inside. And I spun a bit!
Both singles are spun from some BFL from Spunky Eclectic. The first one is her Azalea and the lighter one is the Salvia (maybe). I tried to spin both using the woolen method and I think it's working pretty well. Things seem to be holding together and the singles have a nice fuzzy look to them. I still have a bit of the Salvia to finish, but I'm going to try to do that this weekend. And then I'd like to ply them and see how they look together.
I've been trying to be good and not buy a bunch of new fiber, but man there's a lot of temptation out on the web. I'm not sure I'm strong enough to resist all that fibery goodness.

The colors are great, and I think they'll look really nice plied together.

Veeeeerrrry interesting...and lovely. But, PLEASE don't expose me to any more temptation! I've got Rhinebeck (and that other place) coming up faster than I can save the money!

As long as you're spinning...why resist?

oh my poor penlope has lanquished too long without any true love. I'm hoping this next week I can spend Monday and Wednesday night with her.
Your spinning looks wonderful, and no worse for the lapse of time away.
