I got some spinning done! I finished plying my mom’s cough January shipment of her Christmas Handspun Club this morning, 4oz of Shetland in a colorway I called “Cloisonné”. It’s taking a bath right now and I hope will be dry by tomorrow. My mom is lucky that I love her, because if this was for anyone else, I might have “lost” it somewhere. My only regret was that I’ll probably never be able to duplicate the colorway. I was experimenting with greens, browns and yellows to get the bronze-y color, and the pink/magenta was leftovers I mixed together.

The fiber before spinning:

The handspun, hopefully around a worsted weight (I blame any unevenness on the fact that some of this was spun while watching the Superbowl):

The house is really in presentable shape now, with mostly just some craft room and office unpacking left to do. I was thrilled to be able to display my wooden wacky farm animal collection in the breakfast nook. I ended up banging some picture hooks into the backs of some of the pieces that weren’t originally intended to be hung up, and it’s worked out great.
