My next adventure in wheel spinning was some 2 oz. of merino wool. This is 1 oz. of it:
It's already been plied and is awaiting a washing. The red is something that the little guy picked out. I told him to pick two colors and I would make a hat for him from it. Oh yes. I made another trip to the Yarn Tree today. I bought 4 oz of merino (2 oz of red, 2 of blue), 4 oz of baby camel, 4 oz of alpaca, and 2 oz. of some handpainted kid mohair/wool.
I'm not the only one who likes the wheel...the little guy got to pedal on it, minus the fiber.
I finished Sizzle on Friday. The pic is awful, and I apologize. Hubby has either been at work or sleeping and I can't take pics of myself.
I started the Go With The Flow tank on Friday, shortly after finishing Sizzle. It's a bit slow going, but I think once I get past the lace pattern, it'll go a bit faster.
And last, this week's blogstalking assignment. We were to take close ups of things in our house. You'll get the full pics later this week.

Nice work on the spinning! Woo hoo!
Not sure exactly what it is, but the first one has the Shrek logo on it. I'm guessing the second is the base of a lamp, but I have no actual clue. The third one looks like a statue of the Pillsbury Doughboy.
The spinning's looking great! Have you convinced Al yet? :)
OH how nice your handspun yarn looks! I love the red too!
Oh my for a sec there I thought you broke down and bought a wheel! Hee hee!
I'll go with #1 being a Shrek Book
#2 being a candle holder and #2 a pillsbury doughboy figurine.
#1 - I don't know, and after reading guesses of food, Shreck book and hard liquor, I don't think I can guess anything novel. :-)
#2 - Edge of a mirror
#3 - I want to say that it's one of those statues of a praying figure where water is supposed to pour out over its clasped hands
I'm having so much fun looking at the pictures, especially #1 because I love the colors, that I don't care if I'm completely wrong.
I can't wait to see Sizzle on. It's a great little number!
#1 I thought was a can of mushrooms, but now that everyone is saying Shrek, well, maybe a can of Shrek mushrooms.
#2 candle holder
#3 bottom of a toilet
Val, let you borrow her wheel! Damn, I want a Val in Charleston.
The second one looks like the base of a light or lamp. Other than that I'm lost.
Ooh,... I may have a joy in my future and was thrilled to see your reference to it :)
OOOhhhh! Lovely for you're first wheel spun!
And nice sizzle! woot! you're on a roll!
