TdF 2010 Wrap Up


Here is what I completed during the tour. I feel like I ran right along side them most of the days. It's amazing how good spinning looks after several days of being at the wheel. These are some of the best yarns I have made. All different weights, methods, colors, and of course yardage. Here's the run down. Top to bottom, left to right in the picture.
4 skeins of Rhomney = 655 3-ply worst weight (long draw)
1 skein Dyeabolical = 255 3-ply sport weight (worsted)
1 skein Lupine = 278 3-ply DK weight (long draw)
1 skein Field of Screams = 211 2-ply bulky (short forward draw)
1 skein Rubber Grapes = 261 2-ply Dk weight (short backward draw)
1 skein Blue Moon = 290 2-ply worsted weight (short forward draw)
1 skein Pomegranate = 371 2-ply fingering weight (long draw supported)
1 skein Monkey Farts = 351 2-ply sport weight (short backward draw)
total = 2671 yards / 6 miles 2.78 pounds
Woo woo!

We went to Brazie's literally right up the street from my house for dinner. None of us had been there before so we were not sure what the food was like. We were a little surprised at how fancy the place was. Of course we had to make fun of the hostess' tasteless outfit of way to short shorts and high heels. She did not fit the rest of the atmosphere at all. Of course we decided that she would if she had on longer shorts. Of course the poking fun continued when one of the bus boys just happened to go to school with both of my kids. He asked DS what he was doing and , son replied "not much of anything". Lawn Guy made some kind of noise and I thought I should crawl under the table as I looked around at my all to knowing friends and our own rolling of the eyes and giggling. Unfortunately, DS doesn't get life, but hey, he's moving out

Dear Gardagami

I wanted to let you and EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG AND SEES YOUR NAME - DO NOT OPEN COMMENT!! For some reason there seems to be a virus attached to it! I can't imagine just what I or any others have done to bother you so. Maybe your a hater of the fiber arts? Well if this is the case, then don't read the blogs that include that kind of love. For you fiber related friends, again I must repeat don't open anything that says Gardagami for the blog name.
