I continued to spin.
I like spinning soy silk better than bamboo. But I’m also being more deliberate about how I spin this.
As evidenced by this picture, I separated out the different color changes and I’ve created a pattern to spin it all up into stripes. I just haven’t decided if they will be barber poled stripes or not.
I finally figured out what my plan is going to be for the tour, too. I’m sure you’re all VERY relieved about that. I mean, who just wings it at the Tour de Fleece?
MEEEEE!!!!
Sort of.
My plan is just to spin every day for no less than 30 minutes. If I do that, I will do a fantastic job of reducing my roving stash. Weeeell, half of my roving stash. OK, SOME of my roving stash.
MOVING ALONG!
The problem with reducing my roving stash is that I am exponentially (and possibly existentially) increasing my yarn stash.
The other day I found myself talking to a new knitter about where I bought yarn and how I spin my own yarn. She asked, “So what do you do with all the yarn you spin?
I promptly answered, “I hoard it.” Which got me to thinking. I know, dangerous, right? So the short story is that I came to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a dragon. The long, convoluted thought process was this:
- I hoard yarn.
- Dragons have hoards of usually one particular thing (if legend and some fantasy novels are to be believed.)
- Ergo, I am a dragon.
OK, maybe that’s pretty straightforward. The point is, come near my hoard and I might breathe fire on you. Um, and also I am TOTALLY STICKING TO THE PLAN!! Of spinning. In the Tour de Fleece. And I didn’t even get itchy when I sat down at my wheel.
Oh! And I finished all my chores for today. I WIN! Now give me a cookie.
Better a hoard of wool than of gold. Come the apocalypse (zombie or otherwise) keeping warm is going to be a major priority. You are just being super wise!
In the event of an ice age, I am set!
Dragons hoard gold. Unless you are Rumplestilskin, I don’t think you’re a dragon.
That’s just a horrible stereotype.
I knew there was a reason to love you. And yarn is GOLD. Shuddup Regan. You don’t know her yarn!
