Things are just too busy to run the carding group at the studio anymore. Also, the size of the group is expanding to such an extent that we are running out of space. Having Kristen and Jennifer there as studio mates often finds them there on the group nights as well so this makes things even a little more tight.
Last night’s theme. Exotic fibres. Well, one in particular, some super fine dehaired llama for carding. What people did with their fibre was just amazing. Louet, by far has the best carders and the super fine does a great job with these special blends. There were batts, hand pulled rovings, core spun yarns and even some knitting as well. Although class ends at 9pm, the foolishness carried well into the night.
I am going to miss running this group and hope we can find the time for at least one more before the end of the year.
Off to the studio. Kristen and I are doing Game of Thrones audio books today and getting our knit and dye on.
So much fun! I can't wait until fall and more carding/spinning awesomeness.
I've been trying to get my hands on those audio books. I find I'm much more productive (even with housework) when I listen to a book. Enjoy.
