My son has been home sick from school all week, somehow I have managed to complete a few projects.
I got some lovely camel down fiber from Copper Moose and have been spinning away. Wow, so sooo soft! I new it was short and fine. It wasn't too hard to spin, but you have to spin it fine. I had to ply it for strength and thickness. My first attempt to make a three ply yarn long enough for a project. (I usually am way too impatient to spin more than a single) Here's what I came up with:
I've also working on my first written pattern for a maple leaf. It will have a lace option. It has been a blast to work with, but I am not used to writing things down as I work, I prefer to just make stuff. I will try posting this pattern sometime next week.

hi, Nice blog and I love the fact you do it all by hand. I did weaving and spinning in college and I loved it. I found you on the thread at etsy as to who wants to link blogs. I would like to if you want to check mine out xx
