The final spin for Toxicology #spinning #spinsky #fiberspinning
Toxicology on tweed south american wool with viscose neps from @hipstrings.bsky.social spinning up on my EEW 6.0. This is the last of 3 bobbins of singles because I have been on a 3ply kick lately, though I HIGHLY considered a 2ply for this one. Stay tuned for the final results.
Daffodil by Greenwood Fiberworks on 100% rambouillet. 3 ply traditional fingering. I haven't counted the yardage yet- or rather did and forgot to write it down lol!
Greenwood Fiberworks Violets colorway on 100% rambouillet. Spun traditional 3ply into two matching fractal skiens for socks. 420 yrds total. Spun and plied on EEW 6.0

A selection of seed packets with vintage illustrations- vegetable
reverse side of seed packets listing contents: tomatos, beans, cucumber, radish, lettuces, lemongrass, and carrot
Among all the heavy news of late in the world, a bright spot arrived in the mail yesterday. While it will be several months before I can start planting it still feels good to have them in my hands.
From True Leaf Market, I am especially excited about the lemongrass!
Working on the Hailey. Trading this for a sweary defiant quote I made about being queer, which is being embroidered for me to hang on the wall.
Hoooo. Yick. Woke up with a sore throat this morning which doesn't bode well for me. I have a stuff head, headache, and a grummbly stomach.
It's been close to a year since I have been sick (in a respiratory manner) and I am not looking forward to this.
Crossing my fingers I stay away from the ER.
Love that!!

Husband Sweater 2.o in progess. Sleeves split. I have also started a second pair of jeans for him this weekend and have fabric arriving for a crafting trade on monday (button up shirt for emboroidery).
I am sinking into my hobbies, because America is reminding me that I am not welcome.
