Busy
I have been spinning up a storm lately. I finished the roving I photoed the other day and it turned out nice. I plied it with a natural white and it really has a nice spring feel to it. I have 2 skeins of 100 yards each and a seperate skein that matches of 88 yards.
I dyed some more roving too. One is a yellow and red combo that has some orange in it where it mixed. It also has a lot of white so it should be a subtle color when spun.
I also dyed some roving with KoolAid as I wanted to try a new technique (if you can call it that) that I hadn't tried before. I soaked the roving and then sprinkled the KoolAid on. Not my favorite technique but the roving should spin up nicely. 
I have alos found something I want to knit. It is Odessa from MagKnits. I have wanted to try bead knitting and this hat seemed like a good first project. I already had the yarn, one ball of Rowan Cashsoft, left over form the baby stuff I knit adn all I needed was beads. I couldn't find the pearl beads in the size I needed so I went with a clear with silver lining that looks great. Very sparkly. I have finished the ribbing and am now starting on the pattern with the beads. Pictures once I get a few beads on.
