WWSIP Day

World Wide Spin in Public day! Had fun spinning with my knitsibs. Actually, I was more like a bee flitting from person to person talking, that I didn't get much spinning done. I did ply my blue/green roving from bel tine farm (a roving that I bought a year ago at Black Sheep Gathering, my very first roving purchase!!) I re-learned how to use hand cards (that were actually dog brushes). I even bought an alpaca fleece from the trunk of Carissa's car - hehe to anyone else it might have looked more like a drug deal.


Hazel and I in our matching February sweaters - a picture I've been waiting months to get!
