Spin Radio - all spin all the time

I spun all the corriedale - I had thought 3oz would hold me for the weekend, but alas it held only for the morning.  Seeing as today was as good a time as any to learn about processing my yarn and setting the twist I moved on to my next steps.  I wound the skein using one of my dining room chairs.  When wrapped I measured the circumference and counted the strands - I spun 69 yards out of 3 little ounces, tickle me fibery!  Next I did a hot soapy soak, followed by a hot rinse - being gentle and loving all the way.  I gently squeezed as much moisture from the skein as I could, wrapping it in a towel and finished by hanging the skein and weighting it with a coffee cup.  It's about halfway dry, I can't wait to see if I can knit with it.

This has been a wonderful day of spinning and reading about spinning, and talking about spinning, and blogging about spinning.   Hopefully I have entertained my small but diverse international readership, on a slow American blog day.

We have just returned from Thanksgiving dinner, embarrassingly full of wonderful food prepared by our equally wonderful group of Mountlake Terrace friends.  I learned a new and wonderful recipe for sweet potato souffle, and had the best butternut squash soup I have ever tasted.  Tomorrow we start our membership at the local YMCA (if I'm going to spend hours sitting and spinning/knitting I have to spend some moving) and I'll be getting a whole buncha wool.  I'll send a report from the front.  In the meantime, blessings to all.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Managed to make it through without the doggie eating the turkey. I say, it's a GREAT DAY :)
