Project Spectrum!
OIY! I completely forgot! Luckily I have some fiber to share!
August = Neutrals right?
I did this a while back. It's just plain old wool. But I love it. Couldn't even tell you the yardage. I think it's approx 10 oz. though.
Below is a shot of all my neutrals:
Various stuff there, Icelandic wool, plain old wool, alpaca....
I wanted to spin up this for the last hurrah.......
But I don't know if I will get around to it.
I thought this shot could say it all
I really loved Project Spectrum. It kicked me in the ass! Look at all the spinning! Now, what to make with it all.......
Up tomorrow: I have started a new shawl and I am very excited about it! Woo hoo!!!!
Oh and PLEASE go wish Missa a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Today is HER birthday!!!!

Hi Beth! I've been reading your blog for a few months now but never said hi! In reading your "81 Things about Me" I realize we have things in common - don't all knitters? One of my very favorite books is The Mists of Avalon, I am intrigued by celebrity gossip(and remember it too well) and I love beer a lot as well.
Anyway, I also wanted to say that I love you neutral yarns! They're all really pretty!

What are you going to make with the neutral yarn? It's really beautiful.

Gee, look at all that spinning. I need to get my wheel cranking. The skeins look awesome. We'll have to pick a Saturday in September for dye day at my house.

When you put it all together like that, you've been a spinning fool. I hardly realized. Gorgeous yarn, Fancy Pants.
