Well so much for updating every Friday.  I have not yet finished the SugarPlumFairy.  The rounds are getting really long.
I am still working hard on my wedding shawl.
I rented a drum carder from the Recycled Lamb for 2 weeks.  Overall it was a great experience.  I completed a lot of carding.  I have been spinning the India that I carded.  She is a black alpaca in Byers, Colorado.  It is turning out wonderful.  I have spun it into a cobweb single.  I will be knitting a Shetland mourning shawl from it.  I was amazed at how black the yarn is, with no dye.  I did a small test knit this morning and got so excited I had to put it away before I started something else.
I was supposed to go to an 8 hour spinning class tomorrow at the Alpaca show, but I was the only one who signed up.  It is an exotic fibers class.  The instructor emailed me and asked if we could do it at her house on a different day so she could help with her booth.  I gladly said yes.  She is also en expert at washing and carding.  I am going to learn so much!
I am still going to the Alpaca show on Saturday.  I am getting fleece from Fort Collins and hoping for some Suri and some gray.
I will post pix of everything I get.
Happy weekend!
