90 degrees inside my house at 7am and it's only going to go up from there. I have trouble spinning in this weather. I have to have a fan on me (blows fiber all over the place) and in this humidity you can't NOT sweat, making fiber stick to you all over.

tdf day 18
Didn't get much spinning done today.
Just got started on this
BFL/silk green gradient from Friends in Fiber.
watched: Having to suffer through the Buffy the Vampire Slayer kick that my daughter is in. I have another name for it/her but at least there are some characters from Angel that I like in it.

tdf day 17 - Drum roll
I finished plying the merino/tencel!
4 oz braid
Single
524 yards of 20-29 wpi. That makes it LACE WEIGHT! I actually managed to do it. It's not all even, but if you figure lace weight to be 18+ wpi, it's lace weight even at it's thickest.
I wonder how much yardage I would have had if I'd not had a lot of 1 single left?
I also spun some angora bunny
watched: Hogfather, Angel

tdf day 15
I am so not motivated today. I'm really sick of this fiber and I'm soo very close to the end but I just can't work up the umph. I spun for about 2 hours so far today, and will probably do more tonight after shopping, just to get through it.
watched: The Who's Tommy, Serenity.

tdf day 14
I've done a lot of spinning since this picture was taken six hours ago. I have just two more hanks like the one shown here and the last 2 ounces of this fiber will be spun. I should have it spun and plied by the end of the weekend. Then I can pull out a bunch of samples for the Spinner's Study team.
watched: The rest of Firefly. Good show that shouldn't have been canceled. Now if I can find Outlaw Star (I put a bunch of my dvds in boxes to store) I'll watch that the rest of the night.

tdf day 13
Still plugging away at the merino/tencel
I've also been playing with the phat fiber June (sci fi) sampler box
watched: Firefly marathon. It's a total rip off of Outlaw Star but it's still a good show.
