I spent about 20 minutes spindle spinning the Moonstone roving. This is the 6th time I'm filling the spindle. Of course, it doesn't look much different than the first 5 spindle-fulls...oh, well!
One thing about trying to spin every day is that during the work week, I don't have a lot of extra time for it. Monday and Tuesday evenings are pretty full and usually my Thursday evening is full, too. That leaves lunch-time and Wednesday evening. I guess as long as I spin a little it meets the criteria of Tour de Fleece!
On the knitting front, I tried the Nereides pattern in Magknits in the Walk on the Wild Tide (WOTWT) yarn. Loved the pattern; didn't like it with this yarn. So, now I'm trying the Montego Bay Scarf from the Summer issue of Interweave Knits. Since I really wanted a wrap out of this yarn, I doubled the number of cast-on stitches and increased the needle size to 10 (6.0mm). I'm about 6 rows in and it looks good. There's not enough of it to photograph yet, you'll just have to wait!
Now, to go order another skein of the WOTWT yarn...
