Not withstanding the feline acomplice sticking her nose into everything, Nance's scarf is almost done. The squares were pretty easy - it's tieing in all those ends that is a pain in the patootie (or how ever you spell that...)
I'm taking a couple of classes from one of our local yarn stores (that's LYS for those in the know) - the first one - I decided that I needed to take another spinning class as there seemed to be a few things that weren't "working right". This is the "bump" of dyed Border Leicester
roving - and for once my camera got the color right (unlike the purple in Nance's scarf) - it is the prettiest robin's egg/sky blue I've ever seen- Yvonne from Aquarian Hamster is teaching the class. And, I need to go practice on some of that yummy blue wool!
Next on the menu: an Artfelt felting class (the other class from my LYS) and "Brave Charlotte!"

Hi Tina - I'm so glad you like the color of the roving from Linda Jonasson's farm. Hope you're having a good time spinning the Border Leicester. It should be pretty forgiving. ;-) So *very sorry* to see that gorgeous fleece that won't be going to show. It is scrumptious. Well, without the pee.
Those granny squares sure bring back memories. My mother and I used to do them together. BTW, I'm a BL fan myself. Good thing because the fleeces are huge and it takes a long time to use one up!
Great looking granny squares for NNT! She's going to love it! And she could certainly use a pick-me-up right now.
Love the colors!!! :-)
And -- congrats on the egg. :-)
I see The Snoopervisor is on duty! What a ham she is! :)
I am so happy to know that you're "getting into" more spinning and the by-products. John's going to have to give up some of those beautiful fleeces for spinning, isn't he?
Good onya, Mate!
The scarf is very cheerful! Perfect contrast to the dull, gray winter. I know you'll enjoy another spinning class. Spinning is learned mostly in the doing, and a class is a fun way to "do."
Sharon is right about those BL fleeces. My first fleece was a BL and I actually still have a few ounces of it left somewhere.
