Been pondering....

... alot of things but haven't been up to writing much down.  This damn heat has got me - there I said it!  Sick, so sick of being little Miss Sunshine.  Blergh... O, you missed my 'Miss Sunshine'?  Well, then, you haven't been looking at me the right way.  Okay, so I'm just kidding, well, sort of.  I do NOT do well in the heat.  S'alright...? S'alright. 

You know that saying... "I knit so I won't kill people"...?  Yes, me too and that's got me worried some as I haven't knit in several weeks. Just saying....  People are going to dislike me even more I suppose (tongue in cheek). Got to live dangerously sometimes, eh?  At least they'd actually have a reason.  Ha.  I wish I could say that I don't give a care and mean it.

I've been doing some spinning though and since I'm not making a peck of sense here, I'll just share some photos.
Previously I had shown you this:


CJKopecCreations Fiber: 'Just Because'

This is what I did with it:
On the Nostepinnes
Plying Spindle (foreground) - Nostepinne (background)


Wrapped on the Niddy Noddy


Gorgeous!
'Just Because' ~ 314 Yards

I like how the colours blend - though they are somewhat on different ends of the spectrum.  I've got more to ply, so I'll have a goodly amount to work with.










Then I started on the 'Caspian':

This is as far as I got:



Yes, I know, the photos are are crappy.  Wanna make something of it....?  wink wink  ;)  





I'll get back to it - I have a very good reason for setting it aside temporarily.  


Look what arrived!!!!!  'Indian Corn'

This is the 'Put Your Own Twist On It' July/August fiber for the CJKopecCreations Group spin a-long on Ravelry.   75% Merino 25% Colonial Roving Custom Blended Batt.  Coby does such a wonderful job with carding this into an incredibly fluffy roving.  It truly does nearly spin itself. 






I'm not sure what I going to do with it exactly. I have separated the colours - imperfectly - so there'll be interest [I hope] and decided to let happen what happens.





These colours are beautiful!  Shades of Deep Chocolate, Olive Green, Pumpkin-Orange and Purplish Berry.

The colours remind me of Fall.... when the weather begins to get cooler.  O joy!
