I finished the yarn this morning, it’s still drying. I haven’t even measured it yet. But it looks really good:
Now to get to work on the plain gray to go with it.

It’s time for another fiber get-together, The Boyfriend will be gone and I’m on vacation all next week. After a week of working on projects I’ll have a bunch of stuff to share (and some hems to mark.) Email for more info.
This link arrived in my inbox the other day. I haven’t tried spinning old telephone parts yet, perhaps I should investigate further. I guess this would be the neighbor flock from the AT&T goatherd?
I didn’t do much spinning, but I did bring my wheel to Maker Faire. I ended up working the booth for one of The Boyfriend’s robot projects because they were short-handed. I got to see some people and play with robots a lot. I was Queen of the Flagging Tape and She Who Drives. When I did get a chance to spin, several people stopped by to chat and I taught a few folks how to use a spindle.
There were more fiber people with quite a lot of knitters showing up for a talk by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, a knitting blogger. Like any good Maker, even one pressed into service at last minute, I was in the booth at the time. Such is life.
The Bizarre Bazaar was larger and had lots of interesting things and even some fiber here and there. I managed to lose my glasses in the craft hall and endured some minutes of panic until I discovered someone had turned them in to the volunteer table. I met dozens of people whose names I may remember if I can figure out where I put their business cards and/or flyers. As a non-tv person I had an interesting conversation with someone from CurrentTV (I work in the same building.)
I am still tired. And, of course, have zero pictures.
