I finished my Into the Whirled singles on Day 2. I want to let them rest before Navajo plying
them. So I decided to start on the
lovely Loop Bullseye Bump in Beautiful Nightmare.
My hope is to create singles from this & The Devil Made
Me Do It. Then I will ply them
together. Though with my lovely Ladybug
Lady Rue, I have a habit of spinning pretty thin with the Bumps. So I suspect if last year is any indication,
I may get mega yardage out of these babies!
*grin*
Day 3
I spent a fair bit of time spinning on the 4th of July. Though I did spend time with the family &
working on some SSK stitch markers for exchanging. *smile*
I really thought I got about a third to half of the Bump
spun, but after doing some spinning last night, I think it was closer to a
quarter to third. Of course, I *could*
have just weighted it to know for certain. *laugh*
And here is why you don't leave the wheel alone in a room
with curious 5 & 6 year olds...
Doh.
I was able to fix it.
But I did lose some fiber that was wrapped around the area with
oil. But honestly, not nearly as much as
I feared! So that's good.
I love that the Littles are curious about it & want to try. But less thrilled when they do that... Ah well. The joys of parenthood. If that is the worst trouble they get into, I am a lucky mom. *grin*

Day 4
I didn't do a ton last night. But I did some...
I am struggling a lot with trying to take pics. None of the colors are really right. I try to work on them. But either they are too dark & muddy or washed out and mis-colored with the flash. Ah well.

I suspect I won't get a lot done until I am settled in for
vacation. I don't think I am going to
get any spinning done on Saturday with travel.
But we shall see!
