I've been carding wool, and tuning up my spinning wheel in preparation for the Ravellenic Games.
This year I will be spinning (and then knitting!) approximately seven ounces of brown Corriedale wool from the fleece that I purchased last summer at the Iowa State Fair.
Participating in the games is a low key and friendly opportunity to set yourself a goal and then accomplish it during the course of the Olympic Games. I am on team Daybreak Dyeworks and team Coconut Two-Sters. The teams are mainly a place to discuss what you are working on and cheer for each other.
Last time I participated, the Summer Games I knit these Blomst mittens, my first colorwork project!
Are you participating?
Your girls needed to have on those mittens today, brrrrr!
