Where in the Niddy Noddy? Huh!

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out where I've been all week (although the previews for the new movie remind me why Robert Downey Jr is so amazing) because I can be easily found in front of my new spinning wheel. I have been spinning like crazy. I have made two ply and three ply yarn and I LOVE IT!

I have also added to my stash! Monday night found me at Jill's house spinning and yammering away. Can you believe that? Poor Spinny went yet another night of not getting anything done because she was holding my hand all night. Jill made one tiny tweek on the wheel and now I can ply my yarn although I am already finding fault with my beautiful wheel because it's too big to be carting all over the place and the bobbins aren't the greatest to ply with.

I NEED A BIGGER BOBBIN! I NEED A TRAVEL WHEEL!

But don't tell Hubby. As usual, he thinks that this is the only wheel I will ever need. Mr. I Have Three Bows for Hunting and Countless Guns but I am supposed to live with one wheel. Of course, the novelty of the first wheel was supposed to last longer and it will. My Elizabeth is gorgeous and is perfect for the house but I need something to travel with.

So I have been spinning and spinning and having a blast.

I did turn in my blue knitted square for the Hope Lodge Quilt Project headed up by Holly. Of course the only picture on record is in her camera because I forgot to take one before handing it over. Yikes!

Shannon also watch me knit and purl the beginnings of my Kidney Kozie also headed up by Holly.
I better start cranking. I offered up some of the WONDER ROVINGS as a door prize.

Honestly, you want to see charity work. Check out knitwithsnot! Really, go look at her blog. That is why I have been busy. She has me cleaning other people's yucky garbage up off the side of the road and knitting for charity and now my passion for spinning has been ignited!

Like I said, when we were at Jill's I was checking out her inventory and buying up more wool to practice on. Really, she has some cool stuff. Check out Fuzzy Wuzzy Wool. I got to feel camel rovings mixed with bamboo(?) and it was delicious! I also felt some different alpaca rovings. Some I liked, some not so much but that's ok because my rovings have shipped from Flaggy Meadows.

WOO HOO!

In another day or so I will have a living room full of rovings from MY HERD. I can't wait to see what they did. They mixed some fleeces up with merino wool, some with bamboo and silk and some with a bit of all, I think.

I do know that they said that I have beautiful animals and the quality was exceptional. Apparently all my belly aching about skirting paid off.

So, pretty soon I will have WONDER ROVINGS to sell and WONDER ROVINGS to spin into WONDER YARN.

Isn't that WONDERFUL?

I LOVE IT!

So that is why I haven't been blogging. I am in love with my spinning wheel.

Oh, as for the Niddy Noddy...I NEED ONE! I have two bobbins full of plied yarn and I want to take it off nice and pretty with the yardage somewhat measured and I figured I would pick one up at Fiber Fest but that's two weeks away and I can buy one on the internet and have it shipped tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.

AAAAGGGGHHHH!!
