WIP-it Wednesday...

 ...some progress on all fronts.

I started spinning a new fiber. This is Walk In The Forest, a Wensleydale fiber that I bought at the Taos Wool Festival in 2016.

Walk In The Forest Handspun, singles

In between spinning sessions, I worked on some cross stitch and some of mom's paperwork.

F.O. and Eye Candy Friday...

 ...at least I finished one thing for sure this month! I did a little spinning, not at my usual speed or with my usual attention, but ...
