Tour de Fleece Day...what now? Seven?

Currently recovering from a morning of work, a break for my spinning, followed by an afternoon picking blueberries. In the sun. The hot sun. I might be delirious at this point, but still here I am posting my progress.


Mainly just wanted to put up a quick photo this time, and then tomorrow I'll be posting a ginormous week in review to cross post here and to my dreamwidth journal.

I've done almost 15g of this fiber, and I've already pulled it off the spindle. Tomorrow I'll start with more of the same, in hopes by next weekend I'll have some progress to show off on a plied yarn. Hopefully.
Fingers crossed.
(but just for a while, or else I can't hold my spindle)

For now I'm just going to enjoy a giant glass of lemonade and this fresh blueberry donut
Mmmmmmmmm

This post brought to you by the letter A

A is for Alpaca!

First some belated pictures from my knitting group’s “field trip” to the lunch and fiber event hosted by Natural Maximum Alpacas a couple weeks ago.  I say it was kind of like a field trip, but we didn't really have to leave town. The farm is on the town outskirts off in the country, just much further out than I even realized that road went.

(Then a hat I made - Yes! A real live Finished Object!!)

The view from the farm...which is also basically the same view from anywhere in the valley. The hills are pretty, but I do miss the green ones I grew up with back in NY sometimes.
