Part One- Wis S&W

Carrie was right.  It is a very good idea not to be home when the drywall guys are working.  Unfortunately, I am.  Yes, I am definitely thinking of a sedative and earplugs.  My plan to work, um, normally, was thwarted by a schedule change so I'm teleworking.  I've found a place on the front porch that is relatively quiet so as long as the weather stays nice, I'm good.

I had a great time at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool.  My beginning spinning class with Deb Jones was great.  She was a super instructor and I even made yarn, plied yarn!  The yarn is far from perfect but I feel I have a better grasp of *how* to spin and will be practicing to cement that in my brain.   I met some really nice classmates, which was an unexpected bonus.  I highly recommend the class.   I shopped the vendors during lunch and after class but didn't buy more yarn.  I did get a nice roving and a lovely pattern.  Here's the loot which includes my first plied yarn and a door prize from the Ravelry Afterparty. 

I've got more photos to share later.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm sorry. I knew what you were going to say as soon as I saw that first sentence. (It never ceases to amaze me how many screws they think they need, too.)
Great yarn!

What a disciplined shopper you are! That's a lovely blob of roving and I am very impressed with your first handspun! It looks like real yarn (mine looks like lumpy seaweed). Congrats.

Woo hoo! You made yarn!

I hope the drywallers are done soon. I also hope they aren't as creepy as the ones I had a few years ago. o.0

The very first handspun! Well done! Right now knitting IS my sedative. Why not add spinning?

The class sounds great! The carpentry, not so much.

Yay for you, you yarn-maker, you!
