With knitting designs and painting at the front of the queue, the spinning has certainly slowed down. Since I can't keep away from the fibre club offerings, I've sneaked a spindle session in every once in a while. Here are some of my recent illicit spinnings:
Dark Matter Wool and Mohair Blend from SIOz
Dark Matter Handspun in 2ply -- worked out to about a heavy laceweight
with less gold and more of the green and blue end of the lot than fibre photo
The roany-rust 2 ply above is a sampling of a coloured Romney. It took me several goes before I was happy with this colour, which I became obsessed with. Not too orangy, not too brown, and not too red. It feels fabulous!

I'm so happy! Vellan swapped yarn with me and I ended up the BIG WINNER! I mean, it hardly seems fair to trade commercial yarn for handspun, but I wasn't going to argue. The purple, teal, light blue hs is merino/soy. *sigh. I just want to look at it.
The purple, pink, peach, blue is from Ewe Give Me the Knits optim/bamboo. Kaviare and Vellan call it Minced Unicorn yarn. *sniffle* I don't know about that, but I WANT IT and now, ahahahahaha it is mine. MINE I TELL YOU! And the natural corriedale and sumfin is so sorft and gorgeous. *sigh*
