Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Why do I plant squash every year? Last year we had just moved in to our house so no garden last year, but this year we put in some raised beds so we could grow veggies. I have tomato plants 5' high, loads of peppers, lettuce and SQUASH. I only planted 3 and they are all different kinds but oh my. Every year I say no more than 1 squash and every year the hubby says, "we need more than that." Well, I have run out of ideas on how to cook it. When he comes in with more I groan. We have given it away to every neighbor who doesn't run when they see it and family too. I finally resorted to throwing out the larger ones this morning. Shhhh, no telling.

I also have a new spinning project, of course. I finished the other Grape bead yarn and so now I have 282 yards of Grape yarn. I call this roving Summer Squash as it is the color of the veggie that has taken over my garden. Good news is I don't have to eat it.

I have also broken down and ordered the silk to ply with my yarns. I plan to use it even without the beads for that extra shine that silk has. I could spin my own but cost-wise it really doesn't make sense. Go figure the finished stuff is cheaper.
