And just in case you think I haven't been crafting, I have!! Lots of knitting done for 12 days of Christmas swap (aka crafting madness) and I spun 1lb of alpaca and some Sheep Shed Studios mill ends. Check it out! First one is 1lb (minus a sample skein) of alpaca I carded and spun. It was a learning curve because the staples were short! Like just a little over an inch in some places. 1470 yards approx. and almost a bulky at 8wpi. Pretty darn proud of it, it was for a friend. Now I get to spin this gray alpaca that has flecks of rusty red and black in it. It promises to be fun! It'll be for another friend.
This one is the Sheep Shed stuff. My dd and her friends were over dying eggs for Easter and they were done. Epiphany struck and I yelled, "WAIT!!! Don't throw out the dye!!!" Out of all the dyes the green seems to have stuck best. I have a bit more I'll spin up eventually. I don't have the stats on this because it's mine and unfinished sorta so I guess just enjoy. It's sort of self-striping too! It's called MMMmint!
