spun simultaneously one year in the future

I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

The roving was dyed by Chimera on Etsy. <3

I’m knitting it up with Malabrigo Lace 100% Baby Merino on US6 Addi Turbos. I am so in love with it. If only Austin weather permitted more time for cowl wearing.

    How funny that I found your blog exactly as you did an update. I found you through the discussion about a Thursday knit night. I already RSVPed yes, I hope to see you there.

    I think I basically want to be you when I grow up. I am very impressed by your spinning. My mother in law gave me her old Ashford traditional. Not only does it needs some work, I don’t really know what that works needs to be. I think I may have to replace the flyer as the orifice is rusted and I don’t think I can clean it up without maybe damaging the wood.

    I’d love to meet spinners! I usually go to the knitting group on Wednesday at the steeping room (on meetup.com), and nobody there is a spinner.

    Thanks for the nice comments! I’m still a fairly new spinner (I learned in March 2009), but I am fortunate to be someone that picks up skills fairly quickly!

    Regarding your wheel, you might consider contacting the local spinning guild here, The Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin. I bet someone in the guild could help fix up your wheel, or give you suggestions on where to take it or how to do the work yourself.

    I’ll definitely be at Bennu on Thursday, so I’ll see you there! :)
