Day 6 - Another new project
Namely, making a 2-ply yarn out of the blue/green fiber I was spinning all summer. I took this outside and dropped the spindle off the deck rail, which is a terrific way to save time if it's not windy or cold. Otherwise, I'm pretty much limited to plying lengths equal to my own height. Why are spinning wheels so expensive?

My current spinning project
Mom's sweater yarn is spun and plied, so I was anxious to start a new spinning project with COLORS in it. The braid is three separate colors (one blue, one green, one teal), so I'm randomly ripping off tufts and spinning them in any order and length. I'll either two-ply or navajo-ply when I'm done, depending on which looks better. Meanwhile, I'm actually missing the fluorescent lighting and Darren's black computer chair from the in-laws' basement. That was always a perfect place to take yarn and fiber pictures.

Awesome kittens!
Can you believe this? I put my spinning down, and the kittens decided they wanted to be near the wool but didn't destroy it!
