Handspinning goodies

Awhile back I donated to Spin Out. I did it because it is a good thing to do - as a bonus I won one of the prizes! They got here this weekend!

Funky Carolina Falkland - 4 oz - and colorway Eep Ork! I have been coveting her fiber for awhile and this is my first. I want to spin it RIGHT NOW!! (Forgive my laziness of not taking this out of the package - busy busy day!)

Beth provided this beautiful superwash merino in crap I forgot what the colorway name is and I am again too lazy to go over there!

As you can see I already started spinning that pink goodness on my new Don't Drop Spindle. This thing is LIGHT! I am so glad I got that Bosworth last week so that I had some idea that I could in fact spin...you can see my progress as I got used to it.

This prize is FANTASTIC and what I would like the Lupus Walk prizes to someday be - bigger, better and more FANTASTIC (if you are wondering, I have almost all of them sent out - I spent something like $25 on shipping last week and need to wait until the next pay check to do the rest - hopefully I can get the rest out in the next go!)

What a beautiful drop spindle! I have to learn to use one! The yarn looks pretty spiffy too.

Oh, man, I saw those spindles at MDS&W. They are gorgeous. I'd be too afraid to use it. I'd end up hanging it up somewhere. :D

Lovely prizes!!!

Hi,
This is the lady that has
lupus also. It doesn't seem
fair that you would have to foot
the bill for the postage on the
prizes. I would be glad to help
you out, but I haven't worked since
l989 and I don't have a signicant
other. Can't some of your advertisers help you?

The spindle is lovely. And the fiber is drool. Nice package!
