Vacation = knitting and spinning - Dawn

So I'm on vacation and have been spinning and knitting up a storm. Mostly spinning. Yesterday I went to my first Greater Los Angeles Spinners Guild meeting and yes there were many like minded obsessive people there. Yea! I also bought some Merino top and a package of Stone Soup - Brown batts that I started spinning up last night. I even had Jeff spinning.

I have finished spinning the Maine Woods. Hard to believe but I went through that 2lbs of fiber like nobodies business. I got 4, 300 yard skeins out of it and now can't decide what to do with it. Knitt it up, try to sell it and start my own yarn business, put it in the stash and decide later...its too difficult to decide. I did however break one of the skeins down into 3, 80 - 100 yard skeins and am planning on taking it to a local knitting store to try selling it. I have asked at two places and they asked me to come back after the holidays. I guess they are not wanting to gain any new inventory (hah? 3 skeins) before the end of the year. Well I'll be back and I'll try to recoupe the cost of buying the rovings and still have yarn left to make something for myself.

So we're getting ready to take off to Arkansas to visit Jeff's family. We hop a plane on Christmas Day so today we pack and as usual I try to get more yarn into my bag then is really necessary. A week in Arkansas means plenty of time to knit. So Iwill most definitely finish the Rogue (here's a progress photo) and start something else. I'm taking some of the yarn I got at Saff and some magazines for ideas.
