First off, don't worry. I know that some of you are particularly fond of the llama / sheep banner. It usually makes it back to the blog each winter and winter always comes around. For now, I need a change. Before the summer's out, it will probably change again.
That little plan of Carole's worked out pretty well yesterday. Funny thing how 10 minutes became an hour, then more than an hour. The ice tea disappeared and was replaced with something more interesting. The little sweater now has two sleeves and all the ends tucked in. And the spindle, well… another cop is as full as I want it to be. I'll start spinning the second one today. All three points from yesterday's post were covered. It isn't often that things work so well. I think I'll try it again today. Maybe it can become a habit, or.. if a lot of you join in.. a movement.

I forgot to ask yesterday – what’s no carb iced tea? Isn’t all tea no carb?
It IS a movement. (Do I love Arlo!) Love the spindle banner. Need a spindle. Let me know when you have more. Your roving is gorgeous, too!
Love me some Arlo! And spinning, too!
Why does typepad hate me these days? Anyway, love me some Arlo! And spinning, too!
Oooh that lovely stuff you are spinning sure does look pretty. I like the spindles banner too. I’d like to join the movement but can I use a wheel or do I have to drop spindle? ‘Cause while I could use the practice on the drop spindle, I am really really not good at it yet.
Love the banner! Though sadly my spindle isn’t pictured 😉 What fiber is on your spindle?
I’ll join the movement! I spun up a whole cop (1 oz of Coopworth lamb) too- sadly I forgot to put the straw sleeve on the shaft. Next time!
CUTE sweater 🙂
Nice stuff. Looks Barb Parryish.
A few minutes gets lots done, cuz it gets things started. I usually manage to fool myself into some exercise that way.
Tulip came out well.
Beautiful photo of the spindle and roving. …
Love the movement – I’m in! I spin a little (and sometimes a LOT) every day – it’s like vitamins and sunshine, necessary for my (mental) health. Love the spindles, too. Talk about the textile underneath them, please – it’s beautiful!
I’m in and spinning fluff done, day threee! Banner Banner 🙂
I’ve toyed unsuccessfully with changing my banner and now with typepad changes, I fear it will never get done. But on the positive side, can you point me in the right direction?
The baby sweater is wonderful! Love your color choices. New banner!!! Great spindle shot.
Such a nicely dressed set for that sweater shoot. It looks “Vogue”-worthy.
Where can I get the pattern for the Tulip sweater.. I love yours. I bumped into cotton ease this spring. I really like the feel of it.
I officially love you. Arlo and the spindle photograph of the century all in one post.
Honestly, I am in spindle LUST. Help me. I am begging to be enabled. Guided tour of the banner, please…
(Somebody here also wanted that tour. I’m sure of it. I can’t be the only one who wants to know about every single spindle in that photo.)
(I don’t care if I’m the only one. :-))
