I commented on the other blog page, but will do so again. I'd love to be in.. an excuse to start spinning again after a 7 year absence. I'll be spinning up a couple bags of Alaskan Malamute fur that was gifted to me and mixing it with wool to then regift as a couple of skeins to the doggie's owner, and keep the rest.

The challenge? Given that I haven't spun in 7 years, AND it's dog hair, AND it's summer... well that should challenge me well in July. ;-)

I'm definitely in. My goal is to spin at least 200 yards of three ply alpaca. I've never three plied, and never spun alpaca, so this will be a good challenge for me!

I commented on the other entry, but here I go again, just to confirm it.

My blog, for purposes of this, is http://fiberfetish.wordpress.com and I'll be doing my updates on the mainpage there.

My challenge.... I'll have to think about that! I'll definitely post about it there.

I think I'd like to be in on this one! I want to spin up 2 bobbins of 3-ply yarn from the Southdown Babydoll sheep sheared at the park where I demonstrate. That'll be a challenge for me!

Oops, I'll need to change my goal, since I have actually already started spinning the Southdown. :( Lemme think on it a bit.
