Forecast is Good

At least the Forecast roving from Spunky Eclectic. It am spinning away and almost have the first half done. I never ended up spinning on Tuesday as I started feeling kind of blah so I decided to veg out and not do anything. Nada! It was nice for a change. So here is the first single.

I love the colors as they are very muted. It almost seems like the December Beaches by Heather just lighter. I decided on this roving since March is zooming by and I swore I was going to spin every months roving before the next came. I can not believe that it is the 15th already. Where does the time go? I feel like it was just January last week.

I am still working on the cami but was stonewalled yesterday while I was out since I forgot that I needed to switch needle sizes. DUH! I hate when I am stupid like that. I now have the right needles in the bag so this will not happen again.

I was also thinking of adding another fiber of the month club since they are so much fun. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe this one from Chameleon Colorworks. Anyone ever buy from them? I mean if I wanted sock yarn of the month there would be tons to choose from but fiber seems a little harder to come by.

I bought some of the optim dyed roving. They were easy to work with despite a little trouble with mailing that we had due to our zip code just changing. The roving is beautifully dyed but I haven't spun it yet. I only have 4 ounces and want to save it to spin with a project in mind. I just wanted to snap up the most reasonably priced optim that I've seen.

Ooo....the Forecast is so subtle and "stormy". Beautiful spinning job. Can't wait to see the final product. Is it nice to spin? I'm envious that you get to spin one roving before another month comes.....I've got "start-itis" and have, not only 5 knitting projects going at once, but 3 spinning ones! Need more bobbins....or I have to get more focused!

I'll have to check out that fiber place.....sounds interesting!
