I spent most of today with my husband taking care of my friends' 3 month old son, which I might add, was an awesome way to spend a Saturday together :-) After that we went to my favorite Italian restaurant, Polcari's, for dinner. We then wended our way back home where I had to sit down to prep some music I'm singing tomorrow. Finally around 8pm is was time for me to get spinning!

Because I had such a full day, I wasn't able to spin up a whole 2oz bump of fleece as I had hoped. Nevertheless, I am a happy camper for actually sitting down to get Elphaba, my wheel, up and running and also reclaim my spinner's mojo. It always takes me a bit of time to get back into the steady rhythm of treadling and drafting, but it's kind of like riding a bike (ha ha ha, Tour de France, do you see what I did there? Yes, I can hear you groaning at my horrible joke) so you don't forget how so much as need to reacquaint yourself with the mechanics of things.
I was hoping to be able to spin my singles pretty thin so I could ply two or three together to get a DK or worsted yarn for the final product. So far it looks like that might actually happen - HUZZAH!
Anyway, just a quick update for you. I'm hoping to get way more accomplished tomorrow. Although, I've got a pretty full day planned again.... /facepalm. Anyway, g'night!
