I actually spent some quality time with my spinning wheel last week. Yes…I should have been studying for my finals, but for some reason..the wheel calmed me down and helped with the stress.

I’ve been spinning some fiber that Kae sent me back in September for my birthday. It is the dark teal-ish colored stuff in the right side of this photo.  There were five bundles of it and I have spun 3 so far.

  And this is what I’ve ended up with.  That’s 336 yards. It’s a pretty color and the yarn is soft. Theres a subtle variation in the color that I doubt got picked up in the photo. I had to take the picture inside as it is cloudy and misting outside today. Not very good photo taking weather. I’ll see if I can’t get photos outside once I get the rest spun and maybe we’ll have a nice sunny day by then.

I haven’t mentioned this yet, because I didn’t want to jinx it, but I get to go to Trans Siberian Orchestra on Friday!! We have seats in the FIFTH ROW!! I’m so excited. I wish I could take the camera, but there are no camera’s allowed in the hall. You’ll just have to listen to me gush about it when I get home.

Well, I need to get back to cleaning the house and other things that got neglected during the school year. (man this place is a pigsty!!) Happy Holidays everyone!
