All I want to do these days is spin. Not knit, now sew, spin. This is a bit of a problem, since I really need to do massive amounts of sewing. Spinner’s baptism is coming up in a month and I’m hoping to make two sets of curtains, a dress for me, and outfits for the boys. Yeah, I’m delirious. No matter what, I am determined that I will not be dressing Spinner in a goofy all white outfit this time. I did with Little Man and Knittykid, mostly because I didn’t know what else to put them in. I remember finding a couple baptism outfits that were nice, but they were at Macy’s and a small fortune. This time I am being a rebel and dressing Spinner in linen and japanese fabric. I also have my brother’s sweet baptism outfit form the 80’s that I might incorporate as well. Take that, stodgy old Lutherans!!*
As for the spinning, I finally finished up the fiber I spun for my doula and very dear friend:
It’s from Crown Mountain, and I think I’m obsessed with them as well. It’s Superwash in the San Franciso colorway. I spun up 8 ounces of it. I need more of this stuff. Although I’m not a huge fan of superwash, so I’ll be trying their BFL next.
I have some other stuff almost ready to show off the wheel, in the meantime I’ll be trying to maintain my focus.
*I actually adore stodgy old Lutherans, just so you all know….
Pretty yarn! But… get sewing!!!
I did! For a whole ten minutes this morning…
Yah sure, you kind of have to like them ’cause there is no escaping them here in Minn-a-so-ta!
Beautiful fiber! I’ve been spinning like a crazy girl too. Must be the weather….
I think spinning is in the air. It’s all I’ve been wanting to do too.
I’ve hardly seen heirloom baptism gowns these days. I think that the Japanese fabric certainly will stand out though!
I finally sat down to spin yesterday after a long hiatus. *sigh* It’s such a wonderful, relaxing thing to do. I love your yarn!
