Well, best laid plans and all that. I seem to have spent the last couple of months squashed flat underneath City and Guilds stuff. I did manage to hand in another wodge on Sunday (lucky Fiona!) but everything else seems to have slipped by the wayside recently. I shall catch up on blogging about the stuff I have handed in fairly soon hopefully.

I am still spinning the stuff I started shortly after Christmas. Luckily it is lovely 🙂

This is a merino / silk mix from Wingham Woolwork. I think it is 70% merino, 30% silk. The merino is a blend of about 4 colours in shades of yellow and orange, and the silk is white undyed. It is such a lovely cheery colour, and I am enjoying spinning it.

The grand plan is that it is going to become socks. I have about 200g and I have split it into 6 hopefully equal bits so that I can make two lots of three ply.

After much umming and ahhing I have decided I am going to do the Tour De Fleece this year even though I know I have stuff going on during the next three weeks which means I wont be able to spin every day. It was such fun last year that it seems a shame to miss out so I will spin when I can.  I have joined the Lantern Rouge team for those stragglers at the back of the pack, the Majacraft group, and Jo‘s Lime Green Jelly group, though I will have to get a move on if I hope to actually start on my LGJ fibre! My goal is to finish spinning the sunshine merino/silk, I am hoping this will actually be attainable! So Happy Spinning to anyone else who is doing this, and see you (virtually) in Rotterdam tomorrow.
