Now that my big knitting project is done (with yarn I knit started during
last year's Tour de Fleece), I've started training for this year's Tour. I'm warming up my newest Jenkins Turkish spindle, a Bubinga Finch, with the sample fiber that came with it:

and I'm warming up my miniSpinner with some Sweet Grass Wool Targhee top that a friend gave me. Once spun, I'll knit it into some fingerless mitts for her, as these are her colors.

Don't you just love "forced down-time"? There's always something fun to keep my hands and mind occupied!
By the time the construction workers left yesterday, all the trusses
(I think) were in place on the winery building, so here is an updated photo:
Yes, it is a huge building, and yes, it will bring more traffic to our road – but not by our house which is further down the dead-end lane. For that I am thankful.
That's it for today from . . .
great sweater! you did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteI agree great job on the sweater.
ReplyDeleteSweater looks really nice on you. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour sweater looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is lovely! It fits wonderfully, too. I got a drop spindle kit from Sarah and I am bound and determined to learn how to use it. I'm glad the winery is far enough away from you to not be too bothersome. Let's hope the patrons don't sample too many varieties and head in the wrong direction!
ReplyDeleteYour sweater looks GREAT! Fits like a dream, too!
ReplyDeleteHave fun spinning...
