Fun, fun, fun was had today when my pal Necia stopped by with her son Cee, her Majacraft Suzie Pro, tons of wonderfully colored fibers, glitz and curls, and her cool Louet Jr. drum carder.After a "light snack" (calamari pizza - yes, pizza slathered in crispy calamari!), we got to work on making some "novelty" ts for spinning. Here's what we came up with:
Above, our joint production of mainly purples and glitz drummed and carded together - I call it, "The Little Mermaid."
Below, my first ever! I initially called it, "WTF!?!" but it looks more like Sushi so insert your favorite roll here _______ . I absolutely adore it! I can't wait to see how it spins. I'm saving it for my new wheel, a Kromski Mazurka which is scheduled to arrive in 2 days!
Chopsticks anyone?
Making these s is almost as much fun as spinning them. If you haven't tried carding fibers together into s, you're missing out on a lot of creative fiber fun.

I had fun too! I may want to make another tonight. We shall see!
is it there yet? is it there yet?? I am so excited to see how you're doing... I wish we were closer.. we could have spun together (or I could at least "borrow" your handspun for knitted goodies)
:)
Its not here yet :( I'm running to the porch every 15 minutes checking for a big brown truck. No such luck! Its been in Jersey since yesterday. Aarrrrgh!
I wish you were closer too! We could have had a blast spinning. I'll definitely let you know when it arrives.
