again…
I've moved all of my inventory to one side of my studio, everything else has been stacked in as small a space as I could pack it. Tomorrow morning the first truckload of poinsettias arrive and we'll need every inch of space we can get. The office has been taken over with boxes of red ribbon and bigger boxes of bows. It'll all be over in 10 days. Long days. Last year seems like only yesterday.
I finished spinning another three bobbins of the Romedale I mentioned earlier this month. This has been one of the most enjoyable fibers I have spun. I can't say enough about it. The color is gorgeous, a soft reddish brown. It makes me think of the very good cinnamon that I add to my morning coffee.
The three skeins have approx. 800 yds. of 3 ply worsted wt. There is more fiber left to spin and I'm taking my time. The past few week I've had only stolen minutes (or hours) to spin . This morning I plied with my first cup of coffee, yesterday just before I made supper. I've been spinning the singles on a Schacht and plying on a Dixon. The Schacht is in front of my glass patio door, overlooking the woods. The view from my Dixon looks west to the hills as they get first light and the sunset in the afternoon. It's my busy season and this is a perfect project to relax with. I'm making it last.
It looks like there will be enough for a sweater. I was hoping.
Scrumptious looking skeins! I was wondering what wheel you were plying on in the photo above. Certainlt wasn’t the Schacht. Now I know. 🙂 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Dixon wheel before.
What a pretty color.
I took this earlier in the week. The sky opened up just enough to get a peek at the remains of the sunset.
Perfectly lovely.
Gorgeous! I love how sunlight plays above and below the clouds at sunset and the different colors.
Ah, the remains of the sunset. I like the way you put that.

You can do it!
Oh dear, Claw Season as you often mention this time of year from making all of those ribbons. Glad it just lasts for 10 days. Happy warm rainy Monday to you!
Deep breath, one moment at a time. And yet, you’ll blog tomorrow right?
