Remember when I was brimming with excitment because I got my confirmation and I was going to SOAR? Yeah, all that was was the confirmation that my application was received. We won't find out until June if we made it in. I'm such a dork.
A small skein of the Border Leicester I bought at Maryland. It looks brown; it's gray. It's not next-to-skin soft but it not terribly far off. Once I get it all scoured, I'm considering it sending it off to be processed into roving. I tried carding some up on a drum carder and it didn't work very well. I don't spin evenly from combs and that pretty much leaves roving.
I bought my new wheel tonight but I'm saving the big reveal until I come up with its name. I'm currently trying to decide if it has more of a masculine or feminine feel.
I'm sorry I don't have much tonight. I fell asleep on the couch with the cat and now I'm all fuzzy headed and I can barely keep my eyes open. Honest, I was just going to lay down with her for a minute...
I'm starting to feel all underprivileged, what with my one wheel...
The yarn looks great and I bet it'll soften up a lot with a good washing and wear.
I'm waiting on pins and needles too. I wonder if they'll email us on June 9, or send something in the mail, or just how we're notified?
