Spun up the tulip-colorway fleece that I dyed. Like it, but the photo wasn't very good. Also spun up some novelty yarn with some of the alpaca seconds hand-blended with some hand-dyed wool.

On my Babe right now is some of the lovely soft alpaca/targhee from Cheryl at Mt Ampata Alpacas!

And I got a lb of border leicester raw wool from Catharine on Spindlers and I have washed it and started picking out the vm (it was free for the cost of shipping). It is much more lovely now that it is clean. LOL!

Been trying to learn how to naalbind from watching online video clips--haven't really got it yet, but the videos are getting me closer than reading the little blurbs with drawings I'd found online previously.

A couple of weeks ago I sold some of the little felted bags (no mittens got sold) and homemade cookies at an SCA event (White Hart, in Port Oasis--Huntington, WV).

Blackstone Raids is coming up and I am trying to teach a knitting class (haven't heard back from the A&S class Baroness yet). I thought I would do a little merchanting, too. Made a cloak for Andrew for White Hart and then someone else he fences with wanted one, too. So I thought perhaps I could sell a couple more at Blackstone, along with some food items and some drop-spindle kits. I made some SUPER EASY spindles with some little wooden craft parts yesterday. Spun on one of them and it doesn't spin super fast and it wobbles a bit, but I thought it was acceptable. And fairly cute and very inexpensive. I will attach a photo...
