TDF Day 7

No spinning today. Too hot, too tired.

TDF Day 6

I spun and spun and spun today. I am super tired.

TDF Day 5

I spun for about 4hrs today, maybe more. I forgot to keep track. I spun bamboo but I didn't fill the bobbin like I had hoped. I got really close and I will definitely finish it tomorrow. I might even be able to ply it with the soysilk!

TDF Day 4

Today was a tough day. There were lots of crashes in the race and in my spinning. I used a supported spindle to spin some tencel and it just isn't going very well. I think I just don't get alone with this spindle. I am thinking about switching over to my wheel. In order to do that I need to spin some fiber to ply with my soysilk single. I have decided that I would like to ply it with bamboo. So, I pulled out some carbonized bamboo roving and started spinning. I hope to get a bobbin full tomorrow.

Total time spinning today: 3hr. 44min

TDF Day 3

I finished the soy silk. Spun for 3 hrs.

Squirrel Interrupted

As I was fixing lunch I glanced out the back and I saw this:

I ran to grab my camera. I didn't know if the squirrel was dead or what but I knew I had to get a picture of it. At first I thought maybe it missed a branch and fell out of a tree. *SPLAT* on the cement! I got closer to the window and the squirrel was still not moving.

At this point Abby had come over. She didn't see it right away. So I knocked on the glass door. Abby went nutz and the squirrel moved! It was alive!

Abby started to bark/growl at it so it took off. I guess the squirrel was just sleeping or keeping cool in the shade. Very weird but I am glad it is ok. Next time I will just let it nap.

TDF Day 2

I worked on the soysilk while watching the race this morning. Then this afternoon I started to spin some tencel on a supported spindle. I spun for 4hrs 3min.

TDF Day 1

I didn't get much spinning in today. My dad is visiting this weekend. I did get 1hr and 40min of spinning done. I am starting with the 4oz of soysilk.
