I've added four more bits of fiber from my Fibernymph Dye Works Merry Month of Minis bobbin, and it is slowly filling up (I expect that I will have some overflow onto a second bobbin when all is said and done). These were for days 15, 16, 17, and 18.

Obviously one of these things was not like the other, and it looked so beautiful on the bobbin thanks to the even winding on of my WooLee Winder:
I've got the next four minis unwrapped (I wanted to do that while the sun was out so I could snap pictures) and lined up ready to spin. I'm going to try to fit in a few minutes every evening to get them spun so I can try to spin up the remaining minis next weekend. That may be a bit of a pipe dream on my part, but it would be lovely to finish up in the first week of December and have the yarn finished should I choose to start knitting it later this month. Plus, I wouldn't mind getting back to my combo spin before we leave for our annual trip to Florida. If only there were more hours in the day!
It's a vicious cycle; I have to work or I wouldn't have enough money for yarn and yarn-related accessories, but work steals too many hours from my knitting time. Oh, the dilemmas of knitters and spinners everywhere! :-)
ReplyDeleteOy... I am absolutely with you about wanting more hours in a day! Nice spinning as usual! And, I hope your Hanukkah is off to a lovely start!
