So, here we are more than a week into the Tour de Fleece and I have spun .... Pretty much nothing.
While last year's tour had me totally engaged, this year I have zero interest in spinning. Maybe it's my current work schedule that takes two perfectly good hours out of my day, (well more than that because I take a lunch and work a slightly longer day, making my work day an hour longer than my last job), maybe its the really interesting knitting projects I want to get done before the Ravellenics, maybe I just don't want to spin right now.
I think spinning is a Fall winter endeavor for me, I don't know but I seem to engage with it better when the weather is colder and the evenings are dark or something. To me its something to be done fireside, not poolside.
But knitting, I have been having a fantastic run with knitting. Between the time I write this post (1:30pm) and when I will probably get around to posting it, (after dinner) I will be finished up a pair of socks, my July socks, Don't Blink.
Also, I'm more than halfway through my Spectra scarf and my Secrets of Change shawl. If I time this right I will only have my purse socks and the Muir shawl left on my needles on July 27th when it's time to cast on for the Ravellenics (formerly the Ravelypmics). Then I can just work on these long term projects, and weaving before the mass cast on, because I want to have a clean queue so I can get through some serious knitting during the Ravellenics.
So don't weep for me Tour de Fleece, I'm having a very fibery July, and maybe I will dedicate November to spinning, a much better month to be at my wheel.
