Hectic week

I hope to have some pictures posted tomorrow (or Friday) of some luscious superwash merino wool I am spinning. I love this stuff. So wonderful to spin and touch. I dyed the merino a few weeks ago in a blue colorway. My hope is there is enough fiber there (4 oz) for me to spin yarn for socks for a loved one. According to some friends, 4 oz is all I need for socks. The loved one has small feet, so maybe even less, but we'll see.

This week has been very hectic at work and at home, so no knitting, spinning, or even reading. Not even when I am done with my regular job. You see, I stepped in for a lecture professor who had a death in the family. Was I prepared to step in? Well, sort of. I've lectured in the past and there are planned lectures in the future since the prof will be out of town on a few class days. But, on such short notice? I was game, that's for sure, and I tackled the lectures head on. However, I am very relieved I will go back to doing one job only after today, and this means I can spin and do whatever I want later today at home. Wheee!

You see, today is the last lecture I will do this week. I've learned a lot and my course lecture notes are longer which is great. Now, if I just had the time to finish the rest of my lecture notes for a future course . . .

Fiber pictures tomorrow and wheel pictures too as my little Ashford Traveller is going to be replaced by a beautiful Majacraft Rose. I'm just waiting for the new wheel to come in the mail.

Happy fibering!
