Drum Carding

Unfortunately due to work I missed the last RI Spinning Guild meeting. During the meeting they learned how to drum card. Since I was unable to attend Sarah borrowed the drum carder to show me how to do it. I went right to work with some pink and green fiber I had. I added in a baby cake from loop for just a touch of sparkle! As soon as I finished drum carding I HAD to spin it because it was so beautiful.


Oh and did I mention I was spinning on my exercise ball and Shamus wanted to snuggle? So yes, I was spinning on the ball and snuggling all at once!

I'm Back

I know it has been quite a while since I last posted. I feel like sometimes life gets so busy there just isn't any time. I have been crafting a little bit lately. I started the acer sweater with the leftover yarn that Sarah had from making hers. Unfortunately, either my gauge was off or I can't measure, but it is too small and I have to rip it out. The body was a little more than half done. I am not sure that I have the ambition to re-knit it right now, so I have just left it for the moment.


I have been working on a knit one purl one scarf. I LOVE the way it is coming out and it is so easy and relaxing to make, especially after the sweater issue. I am making it a super long scarf to wrap a couple of times. The yarn is Plymouth Boku in color way 5 (pinks and purples) and 60 (browns).


I have also been spinning a little bit. I recenty finished spinning up a pink butterfly loop bat. It is one of my favorites and is going to be a yolk of a sweater. I have now started to spin the brown coopworth for the body of the sweater. I have also started taking a resistaball class at the YMCA. It is a great class, but when I get home I feel like I can't even move. I have started to practice at home in hopes that I stop falling off the ball and the other day I even did some spinning on the ball!
