Plans for a spinning and quilting weekend

Alison brought in her Crown Mountain Farms Corriedale Roving. I talked her into letting me keep it to start playing with my blending of bright roving colors and the chocolate brown. I ordered more roving from Crown Mountain Farms so I will have enough to make a sweater and give one "hank" of roving back to Alison.

You can see that my English Paper Piecing experiment is coming along nicely. I do love working along, one hexagon at a time. It actually goes much faster than I had expected. I'm using the Fat Quarter Quilt pattern from Paper Pieces.

I would like to head home to start playing but it's only 2:30!

I'm so sorry, but when I read you post, I just couldn't resist. I'm a bit of a smart _ _ _ if you know what I mean.

Comment by Peggy Stuart on March 28, 2009 at 4:57pm: LOL! I get lots of fiber in my diet, so I don't need to eat my spinning fiber! --Peggy

Comment by Susan the Blue Lake Knitter on March 28, 2009 at 2:42pm: Peggy: Just don't eat any of it. Susan

Comment by Peggy Stuart on March 28, 2009 at 1:54pm: I'm making a little notebook with sources of roving and other spinning fiber. I'm turning into a fiber freak! At least I'm sure to get enough fiber every day! --Peggy

Comment by Susan the Blue Lake Knitter on March 28, 2009 at 1:45pm: Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the information. Since I live in Ohio, I'm going to have to get a lot of information from whomever I end up buying my roving. The price differences are across a wide spectrum, and I imagine shipping will be a big factor, too. I'll really have to weigh all information to get the right supplier for me. I will probably order small quantities from several I think would be the best and judge the quality of the product myself.
