Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I didn't get to any of the things I said I was going to do yesterday. Instead I worked on this.

I decided to make it after reading this blog entry.
These kind of stories make me mad and sad at the same time. I can not stand hearing about a little girl having her face torn up by a dog. I am a dog lover and owner but dogs need to be controlled by their owners whether that means a fenced yard that they CAN NOT under any circumstances get out of or training or both. This little girl should not have to pay for someones irresponsibility. Enough said.

I think the hat came out cute and I hope she likes it.

Last night I worked on my spinning again. The second bobbin is almost done and then the plying can start. Right now it kind of looks just like regular purple yarn but I know there are hidden spots of yellow and teal green so it will be much more interesting off the bobbin. I am also ready to hit the dye pot today with some of my luscious new fiber. I decided to try some merino/tussah silk and some merino/tencel. I have spun both but never dyed then myself so it should be a great experiment. The tencel especially since most people say it won't dye with the same dyes that do wool. Guess we will see.
