Cycles

I tend to vascillate between knitting and spinning in cycles.  The cycles may seem random to the casual observer, but I think they’re actually a function of stash accumulation.  When the yarn starts to pile up, I break out the sticks.  When the fiber supply can’t be contained, I head for the wheel(s).

This weekend I spun some superwash top I bought at the Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair many years ago.  Aren’t the colors spectacular:

I Navajo plied the singles and got about 200 yards of a dense, chunky weight yarn.

I’m thinking it would make a good bag, maybe with cables.

Spinning the top gave me some room to store my latest fiber acquisition–some lovely carded thrums I got from Spinderella:

I love spinning Lynn’s fibers. They always make such interesting yarn. And, if they weren’t already reasonably priced, she’s running a Valentine special if you’re a member of her Ravelry group.
Oh, dear, somebody stop me from buying more!
