TdF day 14- plied up these two bobbins! 492 yards. They are beautiful! Plying is still my nemesis and I’m going to have to reply these again but I’m still very excited about the outcome.

TdF day 14- finally finished off these bobbins! My drive band shredded the second I started plying lol. Plying is my nemesis and I can never get my balance right so this skein is going to have to be replyed. Hopefully tomorrow I am more on target when I work on the next one! #tourdefleece #knitsky

TdF day 13- It’s been a week. I’ve not lost motivation, it’s been one of those weeks. I come home from work drained and I barely have energy to eat dinner and get to bed. Hopefully I’ll have some good time this weekend to start the second third of this spin! #tourdefleece #knitsky #handspinning

TdF day 11- no bobbin pic or weight. I did spin my 10 minutes today but I did not do much more than that. I was hoping to get a lot spun up but that’s just how it is some days! #tourdefleece

TdF day 10- Not too much spun today. I have been really into Breathing Yarn’s wardrobe series. As someone who’s always had a contentious relationship with clothing, it feels really good to set a plan for conscious consumerism and a way to make sure I like the clothes I make. #tourdefleece #knitsky

TdF day 11- I totally forgot to weight my fiber pre spin BUT I have blasted through all the black/navy that took me two days on the first bobbin! I am unbelievably excited to get this second singles done so to see how this piles up!!

I had planned to knit this into a sweater. My problem is that this yarn has a defined gradient that I want to through the entire piece. A lovely person directed me to the Halmstad, which is knit entirely in the round, steeked, and seamed, which was a beautiful solution to my problem! #knitsky

TdF day 8- yet another wildly spectacular day with 34.6 grams spun up AND the completion of this bobbin AND I finished the first two ounces of the purples! IF you want to know what I’m making with this yarn, I’m going to post the plan next! #tourdefleece #knitsky #hanspinning

TdF day 7- just a casual 28 GRAMS spun up this afternoon! I have finally hit the purples and oranges! I can’t wait to spin the other half of this and see how it plies up! My other rambo came in today and I’m excited to get that dyed up for this sweater. #tourdefleece #knitsky #handspinning

TdF day 10- I have somehow managed to spin 23 grams which is a miracle with how tired I am! I have blasted all the way through the purple/grey section and tomorrow and I am starting the braid that started this whole project! I’m very excited! #tourdefleece #knitsky #handspinning

TdF day 5- 13.3 grams and I’m done with the first section of color for these singles. I’m now onto the grey/purple section. Pretty consistently hitting between 16-12 WPI. As long as it’s “about DK” weight, I’m not too worried. Looking forward to the coming color changes! #tourdefleece #knitsky

TdF day 4- spun 18 grams of the beginning colors of my sunrise sweater project! After yesterday’s frustrations I have finally got my wheel and hands dialed in and I am working on getting this project on autopilot. I’m hoping to get a sweaters worth spun by the end of July! #tourdefleece #knitsky

TdF day 3 has been frustrating! It’s all been beginner issues. Bad tension, wrong ratio, not getting my target WPI, not getting a clear answer of what WPI sport is supposed to be. I have finally gotten my wheel dialed in and I’m finally getting the yarn I want! #handspun #tourdefleece #knitsky

First skeins of TdF off the wheel! Approx 272 yards of home-dyed cheviot. Spun supported long draw, hot soaked and thwacked to finish. It’s definitely thick and thin, I wanted this on and off as quickly as I could so I could focus on my main project! #handspinning #tourdefleece #yarn #knitsky

450 yards of 3-ply handspun merino! Probably ranging from sport to worsted if we’re being honest. Worsted spinning doesn’t come naturally to me and I can tell I got lazy on my last bobbin (middle hank). Worth the practice though, and it’s a lovely yarn.

Did you know that the American lawn was popularized by Thomas Jefferson? Not only did he showcase a lawn of turf grass to prove that he was so rich he didn’t need that land to produce food, but also to highlight how many slaves it took to maintain a lawn as such!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

11 hours at work today BUT we bought some new bikes with the likelihood of gas prices going up! The boys approve of the boxes at the very least.

All the plans I had for the new year are kinda out the window. We’ve had to pivot at work and I’m about to have much less free time going forward. On the upside, if we get through this, everything is about to get so much easier down the line. Time to work hard.
