Cherry Blossom DelightPosted by Aimee on July 31, 2008
I decided this year that I would do the Tour de Fleece again – I had a lot of fun last year and I learned a lot about my spinning, even though last year I only did 15 minutes a day.
This year I did a little more – and here is the first of the [...]
SandstonePosted by Aimee on July 29, 2008
So I went on a little trip to Maryland and while I was there I picked up some fiber from a little farm in NC. Cloverleaf Farms is not too far from here, but I went to MDS&W to get some of their roving. And I didn’t realize it until I was home
Colorway: Sandstone

Very KeriPosted by Aimee on June 2, 2008
Just before The Loopy Ewe’s Spring Fling, I got to know the blogless Keri (Ravelry link). She asked me if I would spin some yarn for her, I said sure!
So this is Very Keri!
Roving: Sakcel Merino in Cockles purchased at The Loopy Ewe.
WIP – 10
Yards – 226
Keri wasn’t super specific on what she wanted, [...]
SubstitutePosted by Aimee on May 26, 2008
I have some finished handspun, but as it hasn’t been received by Keri, who commissioned it, I am not showing it yet – she wants to be surprised.
Instead, I will show you the merino/tussah I am working on.
The first 2 oz are on the bobbin and I need to find time for the next 2.
Which [...]

Strawberry ShortcakePosted by Aimee on May 12, 2008
For my birthday, I was given 4 oz of gorgeous roving from Spritely Goods.
I spun it up months ago and it sat on the bobbins waiting it’s turn to be plyed.
Since MDS&W I have been doing a lot of spinning (so you will have AT LEAST one more week of handspun in your future!) and [...]
Will wonders never cease?Posted by Aimee on April 14, 2008
I bet you didn’t think you would see any handspun on here again ever!
But, I got some plying done this weekend on some roving I have had sitting around forever!
4oz of domestic wool from Poppy Flower Fibers in the Royal Flush colorway.
This spun very nicely, but when I started to ply it, well … [...]
Handspinning goodiesPosted by Aimee on January 28, 2008

Thank you to SpinOff and Soak for sponsoring the event AND for providing prizes!

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby!Posted by Aimee on January 21, 2008
While the rest of North Carolina was holed up in their warm homes waiting for snow, Cristi and I trekked up to Greensboro with vision of fiber dancing in our heads! Spinners Ridge (which I have previously spoken very fondly of) called and we couldn’t resist.
Once there, we met up with Corey, her mom and [...]
