03.16.2005 :: Progress

I was going to post a picture of Ellie with a big, ol' frozen beef rib in her mouth, but yesterday's post was probably enough to keep everyone's imagination busy for a while (oh, maybe it was only Sandy who was lucky enough to hear the story about the head!). Ellie did look very cute and serious about the delicious bone that she enjoyed this evening but the batteries in my camera were dead and I was unable to capture the moment.
The last time that I spun Persimmon Tree roving, I over-manipulated it and ended up with two very large and uninspired looking gray skeins of yarn. I'm trying to use a very light touch with this roving - hoping to keep the colors more distinct and interesting. What I did was pre-draft the roving to the point where there is almost no drafting to do during the spinning process. I'm mostly just adding twist. So far, so good!

Very pretty, Mary! I have no clue what you are talking about (no experience spinning) but I found myself nodding as if I got it!

Your photographs never fail to inspire me. Thank you!

Very, very nice colors. I will try pre-drafting extensively, as I have some beautiful roving that has the colors mixed in completely.
Beautiful pictures too, by the way.

Great looking Yarn! I know what you mean about overmixing the colors, but you seem to have it now. Really great looking stuff! What will you
do with it now?
