Now that I have the pound of grey Targhee/Corriedale spun, I've begun to spin the black Corriedale, also from Black Sheep Gathering. It might be too optimistic, but I'm hoping that by weaving with handspun, I can finally make a dent in my out-of-control fiber stash.
The bobbin and the fiber in this basket are a pound. I figure two pounds, including the grey, is more than generous but I'd like my next lap robe to be a little longer and a little wider than the last one. Anything left over can become a hat. Leftovers are good, running out is bad.
I've decided to take a little break since I've been spinning to task for the last month. I bought this from Mim in September at our guild retreat. I get weak at the knees when I see her hand-dyed rovings and I plan to pair this with green. We're weeks away from our guild Christmas party. She always brings roving for sale, and I know for a fact that I'm going to buy more. This is my rationale. I must spin what I already bought so it will be okay for me to buy some more. Or something like that.
You are absolutely right. Once you've spun what you bought last year, you are allowed to buy more. That's the rule. I think it might even be inscribed on stone tablets somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wool E. You are not, I repeat, NOT allowed to run out!
ReplyDeleteNice corrie!
Sharon we need soap how about a trade?
ReplyDeleteI'm just jealous that you're SPINNING! I've been knitting to task, and feel very deprived on the spinning end....
