I spent some quality time with my spindle this week, and I definitely
think I am improving. Spinning is a little like magic. You take some
fluffy fleece twist it up and all of a sudden it becomes something
completely different. Knitting and crochet are pretty magical too but I
have little to show you on those fronts, Though I am glad to say I finished my purple headband.

I started with 2 oz of fleece for both of these and you can see that I lost much less fleece on the second skein. |

This is my favorite picture I think it shows of the texture of the yarn beautifully. |

Gorgeous chunky yarn from mud puddle picnic roving. You can see a picture of the roving and some more yarn I am working on over on Wednesday's post. |

I had a bit more black and grey left after I finished plying, so I have tiny mini-skein. |
