Back from orientation and I am super tired and promise to write a better more exciting post tomorrow. Orientation was a blast and I made so many friends already, I feel confident that I will have a great time. I did come home and have a minor melt down because I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life. That aside though the past two days have been wonderful. I even came home to a surprise laying on my bed! I while ago a won a monthly give away over at A Year at the Wheel, Sara is amazing and a total inspiration when it comes to knitting and spinning. I won 2 ounces of Merino/Tussah blend and it is so soft I can't even handle it. The pictures aren't so great because it is dark and I am slightly sleep deprived but trust me it is gorgeous.
Not only was she kind enough to do that give away she also read my post one wanting to try spinning a fleece and was wonderful enough to send me a little bit of her own to test out! It's part of her prize winning Border Leicester fleece and it is so soft and the color is just so rich. I am going to be washing it sometime really soon because I just can't wait to spin it! Thank you so much Sara both fibers are completely amazing, you are way too kind!
So that is all for now, no real spinning news today other then plugging away at plying my blue fiber. I hope to get that done soon so I can start on my new stuff! I hope you all had a great day!
Lucky duck! Great fiber.
ReplyDeleteAnd please do not freak out about not knowing what to do with your life. I've got 2 degrees and am 27 years old and I still have no idea. It all works out. :)
Sara does have excellent taste in fiber, congrats on winning! I'm sure that you will enjoy spinning both of those. Because I'm a scientist, I'm pretty biased and have to try to get you to take a science course ; )
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! So glad everything arrived safely, and that you're happy with the fiber. :) I hope you have lots of fun working with it: hopefully you'll blog about it, so I can follow your progress!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I totally understand about the "What do I do with my life???" meltdown (two degrees down the line!). Just enjoy your time in college and see every day as a new adventure, and trust that everything will work out. In my experience, it always does!
