I have been hiding out in my knitting room listening to an audio book alternating between knitting a UFO That was started before Eric went into hospice. Then was tinked because I should never knit lace work when I am taking care of someone going through hospice. Then thinking it is time to spin on every drop spindle I currently own. Maybe even fill up a basket and ply them later.
I am so totally exhausted and out of sink that I totally forgot about Tour de Fleece. At this point 11 days in I am not going to stress myself. I will just look at my lovelies as I spin on the drop spindle of the day or 2 it takes to fill them. I will pull one braid at a time and spin until I run out and then go to the next one.
I am currently on an Orson Scott Card binge. Currently Invasive Procedures. The last book was Stone Father. Both good reads.
Below is the first spindle filled in this endeavor. A Golding that has an amazing spin on it. I did not think I would be able to spin lace weight on a spindle this heavy. I spun a blend of merino wool and silk.
