So The Tour Begins!

I don't like watching biking, and never have even watched the Tour de France. And yet I have been looking forward too it for months now... why you may ask? Tour de Fleece I am so excited that this year I will be able to participate. It is crazy to think that this time last year I had just learned to knit and had no idea that you could spin your own yarn. So I thought I would let you have a glimpse into my supplies and my goals for the coming month.

So there it is, all my fiber and all three of my spindles. The newest spindle and fiber I got from a local fiber and yarn shop, BeeLighted Fiber and Gifts in Zumbrota. The shop is amazing and they are all so helpful about fibers that they recommend. It was a great experience getting to go there because I had never met any other spinners. I also swung by Nancy's spinning studio, she let me take a whirl on her lady bug and I am completely in love, while that is slightly out of my reach I have started saving up for her other beginner spinning wheel.

That is all the fiber I got at her store it is all so gorgeous I don't even know where to start. I will go through all of it in detail tomorrow! So I figured I needed goals for this fun event and here they are;

1. I want to actually spin every single day, I sometimes get to caught up in life that I lose the hobbies I love so much. Weeks go by and suddenly I realize I have not knitted or spin in so long.

2. I want to challenge myself. I have tencil roving and I am going to spin with it this week. I also want to try and spin art yarn.

3. I want to give up the idea that it all has to be perfect. I often find myself not enjoying what I do because I want it to be perfect or just as good as someone else and I want to leave that part of me behind.


So there are my three major goals, good luck to all of you knitting and spinning, let's get this race going!
