Second!

My yellow “Cheese Omelette” yarn took second in its class at the county fair. My white “Lamb Chop” yarn placed fourth. I got some good feedback from the judge, and am determined that next year I will do as well, if not better (better would be: more than 2+4, like 2+2 or 1st in any category).

I spent Sunday afternoon at the fair, spinning some more aqua yarn, similar to what I submitted to the competition.

Also, a couple of weeks ago I filmed myself winding a center-pull ball of yarn on a nostepinnde, which is basically a fancy stick that you can use to make a center-pull ball without needing a $50 fancy gadget. But then I found this video, which put mine to shame. As a result, I will just post the link to ICanSpin.com’s video and let you all enjoy it.
Below the “more” tag are photos of some yarn I spun from fiber I got at the Michigan Fiber Festival– it’s called “Hodgepodge” and was basically fiber that was hanging around in her wool room, blended together.


And this is what I made with it last weekend.
