woot! i filled a spindle!

Almost three weeks, one spindle filled.  Oh, and a little more spinning done.

A very, very small victory -- and I will say, I miss being able to do what I've done in a couple of other tours, spin enough for a whole project (did that twice, spun enough to make two shawls, immense sense of accomplishment).

But by taking it slowly like this, I've still made a teensy-weensy bit of progress, and I think by the fall, I'll be back spinning regularly again.  Had I gone crazy and taken on a big spinning project now, that wouldn't be the case.

The hardest thing?  I've just finished taking a tour around some of the participants' blogs.  Some lovely spinning, and some lovely fibres that just made me drool.

Yay! Any spinning is good spinning and to fill a spindle is a huge accomplishment!

Congrats! :) I was a little annoyed by a squeaky hinge on my wheel, but I think I've fixed it and am enjoying whisper quiet spinning again.

If I haven't said it before (and so I don't forget later), thanks for hosting this. I'm enjoying this challenge and spinning along with other people working on their own challenges.

I just wrapped off my first spindle of a camel/silk blend. It is for the neck handkerchief that was in Spin Off Winter 2007. I never actually joined because I thought I would be too busy to get spinning for this project. Seems I have found the urge to get back to my spindles, though. Thank you for the inspiration.

I am a little over halfway! I reached halfway on July 14. I am really hoping I can finish in time. Thanks for inspiring me to try my "good" stuff and not be too scared to touch it, I'm having lots of fun.

I've made a goal! I was trying for two decently plied skeins, and I have them. One is about to go into a bowl of tea for a dying experiment. And I'm over halfway through the next chunk of fluff on the wheel.
