So many hobbies!

The Tour de Fleece begins

The Tour de France started Saturday which means the Tour de Fleece started, too.  I've joined Team TARDIS, Team Spindlers and Team Ashford.  I'm also on Team Crankypants.  Don't ask.  Anyway, I got tired of spinning silk hankies so I switched to this batt:

It's eight lovely ounces of 60% angora/40% Merino in the colorway Deep Sea Dream.  It's spinning up into a gorgeous single so far.

I turned my back for just a minute and when I turned back, I found this:

He really needs to be watched.  He's a total batt nut.

I went to the doctor today

My knee has been bothering me and enough people at work badgered me to make an appointment.  So I did.  Turns out I have sustained an injury from participating in the Tour de Fleece.  Yes, I have a spinning injury.  I strained my knee.  I've been told to hold off on more spinning for at least another week.  This puts a crimp in my plans since I was planning on starting on this:

It's Corriedale pencil roving from Crown Mountain Farms.  I'm thinking I'll weave this into a table runner.  There's 8 oz. so I hope I'll have enough to complete the runner.  Hmm, this pencil roving is pretty thin...  I could weave this as it is.  I'll have to ponder this one.

I am happily without plans for this weekend, aside from a few errands.  This is my only free weekend for the next month and I plan on enjoying it.  Of course, that enjoyment was supposed to include spinning so I'll have to find something else to fill the time.

What are you plans for the weekend?  Anything fun?

Sparkles

Destined to become another scarf.  I like the sparkles.  They show up more here because I used the flash but they're more subtle without.  This is today's participation in the Tour de Fleece.
