Spoils of the day.

Today was the fiberfest (hooray!).  This year, instead of wandering about aimlessly buying everything that catches my eye, I went with a mission.  First, locks.  I wanted to give spinning locks a try.  So, I found these pretties:

and these…

Next on the agenda, a fun batt with artyarn promise.

And lastly, fun add-ins with artyarn promise.  Well, I failed at this one because I forgot to go back to the booth to buy the firestar that I had pondered.  But I did go ahead and find a funky tube of random bits of wool that when spun together hold some promise for some interesting results.

Weird.  Wool in a tube.  But it’s soft and some of the bits are really interesting, so I’m excited to see what happens with this.

In my most recent adventures in spinning, I spun up my Spunky Club Champagne top.  It didn’t turn out as I hoped it would.  I had these visions of thick and thin, of gold with tiny little seed beads floating throughout (like champagne bubbles).  But once spun, it morphed into some massive disappointment of handspun monstrousities.  (Is that a word?)  So, here it is.  My epic spinning fail for the world to see…

It wants to be interesting, but it just doesn’t make it.  You can’t even see the damn beads.  So, to the bottom of the stash bin it shall go.  Thank goodness I have new goodies to spin up into hopeful pretties.
