Galen keeps trying to steal my spindle. Maybe he just likes it. Last Friday, he found the pile of roving on my bed and I found him happily purring and kneading the fiber. He was a happy boy.
My task this week is to gather the yarn I plan on entering into the Maryland skein contest, wash it and reskein it to get it ready. Also, to fill out the contest entry form and the description that has to accompany each skein. I'm hoping the yarn above will be finished in time for Maryland. I still have some spinning left to do though so that's on the list, too. There's a category in the contest for 100% wool yarn, cleaned, prepared and spun by the spinner. I don't have any finished yarn yet for this category so I need to get working on that, too. I'd say it's going to be a busy week.
That looks so pretty! I"m a spindle addict, and for some reason one of my kitties is also. She'll leave the fiber completely alone, but she love to lick my spindles. Thankfully she doesn't chew on them, just wants to lick them to death. Go figure.

Love those colors! Is that a merino/tencel? Can't wait to see the finished yarn.

Its Merino/bamboo. I cant wait to see the finished yarn, too. If I keep going at the same rate, I should be done spinning in a couple days. Then a couple days of plying. Hmm, I may not get the Finn spun in time for Maryland. We shall see.
Snorgle the babies for me!
