So how did I fare on the Tour de Fleece? Not too bad. I finished spinning all the roving for my Sprout Cardi. I had that darn fiber for over 2 years! I am in love with the yarn and how it is knitting up. There is nothing like handspun yarn. I have no updated photos as it has been just too darn hot to have that wool sweater sitting on me as I knit it.
I did get through a few of the hand dyed fibers I had. They turned out real nice
Then there is this one. While I love the bright colors I think it may be too bright for the other yarns I am using with it
Here is my original inspiration
While it is bright and has some angelina for sparkle it isn't like "Here I Am - Check Out My Bling" sort of bright. There is even some muted blue tones. So that is leading me to spin this next to go with it.
I got 2 oz. done. Another 2 to go.
Maybe I can finish tonight. Unless I keep spinning this
It never ends...........
Oh yeah - and tomorrow the Ravelympics begin. I am SO excited about my project. Tune in tomorrow.

Hi,
I cant wait to see the last fiber spun up, the lavender one. Your hand dyeing looks nicer than the inspiration. Oh, this is Jerry AKA twistedknitster on Plurk/Ravelry
man, some yummy skeins there!
I think the first one and the second to the last one are my favorites, but they're all lovely!
OMG, I love everything you have spun! I keep checking back to see what you come up with next.

I love the lavender one and can't wait to see it spun up.
