I had a little helper with my spinning today, so we've got a total of 10oz spun!
Denny tried to hold me back at first, with his head on my treadling foot, but after I explained to him that's not helping me with achieving my today's goal, he put his paw on my foot and off we treadled. ;o)
That's what we accomplished today:
Fiber is FCK MBFC November 2010, Merino/Bamboo/Nylon, 10oz in two colorways. I'll be plying this later tonight. I was going for thick/thin with this one, but I'm nto really good at that. We'll see what the finished yarn will look like tomorrow, after it's bath and drying in the sunshine.
Here's the yarn from yesterday. I really love it. It's Falkland colorway My Secret, 264yds, 3-ply. It poofed up after the bath, but it's not really THAT soft.
Even though I've got all kinds of aches and pains right now, I want to push myself to do more than I usually would. It's supposed to be a challenge, isn't it?
As if all that were not enough, I've got bitten by the reading bug again. This is like an addiction, once I start it, I can't stop doing it, so I've come to read late at night, until the early morning hours. I try not to be too grumpy during the day. :o)

Another gorgeous yarn. The fall colors really come through in this one.
Denny you are the cutest little spinner man ever!!
Denny is such a good helper! I love your yarns so far. Are you going to have any fiber left after TdF?
OMG! How many hours did you spend at the wheel?! I try to cut myself off after four hours. I have all kinds of aches and pains, not the least of which is in my shoulder. I can't even think about tomorrow because I can't spin until after work.
Your new yarn looks like warm toast. Too bad it's not that soft. It'll probably make a nice pair of slippers.
Talking books are a great way to do both at once :) Audible.com is a great place to find most books pretty reasonably if you have a listening device !
Can you loan me Denny? My spinning is always very slow; I'm sure with a helper it will go much faster. Just kidding. Your spinning is lovely; I've been admiring your beautiful products and your impressive output rate for months.
Denny's such a good helper! Love the yarn. :)
Love that new yarn from yesterday!
Our dog insists on keeping his paw on us when we're sitting around.
Do you have an e-reader or use audio books and could "read" while you spin?
Aaaaaaaawwww! Dennny!
That's so much spicier looking than I was expecting! Really lovely. But with that paw of experience guiding you....how could you go wrong?
Ah, the reading bug! What're you reading?
Beautiful fiber! What a wonderful helper you have!
Oh what a clever boy Denny is. I love his gorgeous eyes as he look up at you!!!
