Let the sun shine in!

This morning Seli very happily celebrated the return of the sun to the couch.  She slowly moves down the couch following the sun and when I pet her, she squeaks.  It's probably just me but I find her irresistibly cute.

This is carded Cormo waiting to be spun.  Turns out I've been carding correctly all along except that I was loading too much on the cards.  I probably still am.  The static is still horrible and that makes carding challenging.  I'm not making rolags because I'm terrible at spinning long draw.  All I do is peel the wool off the card and starting at one end, spin semi-worsted singles.  It seems to be working.

Saturday I was invited to a local spin-in.  I found myself spinning with some of the founding members of the Spinners Flock.  Of course I forgot my camera.  A couple of the ladies were totally out of control and they had us all cracking up.  I'm looking forward to the next spin-in at the end of next month.  One of the ladies, Barb, ordered one of my spindle boxes for holding her sock-knitting.  Which reminds me, one of the things I need to do next week is to finalize the measurements for the larger spindle box and make up paper patterns for each of the pieces.  It's a short week at work and Maryland for the weekend!
