Handspun Monday: The Tour Ends

It is the end of the Tour de France. That means the end of the Tour de Fleece, too. Wow. What a great few weeks of spinning. I have noticed such a difference in my spinning over the last few weeks as I have been spinning every day.

Here we have some CJ Kopeck Creations in Jester. This was gifted to me in a secret pal exchange that ends this month, so I really wanted to spin it, but when I tried at the beginning of the tour, I was really having some issues with it. It was finer than I was used to, but this bobbin is half of the roving I have and I started the other half already. I am hoping that when all is said and done I will have a decent amount of yardage so I can knit something cool with it!!!

Tomorrow - we have another FO!!

Yes, I realize there is no title. Blogger won't let me put one in. it should read:

Another Handspun Monday!! (to the tune of Pleasant Valley Sunday)



I joined the Tour de Fleece. This is what I have after Day 3 - This is the Gothic Princess colorway from the Distillery kids. This is a hot pink, black and gray wool and I love it. I will be taking pictures as I go with the Tour. I have big plans for the next couple weeks!!!



My thinking is that by spinning every day for 15 minutes (and that is actual spinning time, not including prep time) then I will get really good by the end of the month. OK - WAY BETTER than I am now.
