Spinning Right Along!

OK, so here is the lace cotton that I have been doing on my .75 ounce spindle. I usually just spin this whenever I am flying somewhere while playing WOW (World of Warcraft) Makes the flying time shorter. Specially when you hit 50 and you have to fly EVERYWHERE to get one or a few things done. UGH!

And below is the worsted singles from my Zoot Suit Riot roving from dkKnits fiber club. It is going right along now since I have 2/3 of a 4oz roving finished and will be plying tomorrow. Got about 106 yards with barely any waste. YAY!! And cats haven't gotten to it either so no waste there as well.

Can't wait to ply it up and see how it turns out. I have been following dkKnits blog

for her tutorial. The only problem that I just noticed is that my roving is green on all ends to where she says to split it for shorter bursts of color. :( So I, i believe, i will just be getting LONG strips of color. With these colors it will still look GREAT!

I ALSO bought 8 ounces of alpaca/tussah silk roving. OMFG is it soft and GORGEOUS!!! This is definitely a wait till i am good enough on my wheel fiber. I was thinking of dying it but it is such a nice beige/tan color. PLUS i don't want to ruin it because i don't think my dye will dye the tussah silk. Of course it would be a kewl variation in the roving if the tussah didn't take the dye. Maybe I will take a little bit and experiment.

Yeah I think thats it for now.
