Gaming? Still doing that (a bit)

It’s summer time, so between kids and the husband working insane hours, time at the beach, and tour de fleece, I haven’t found a lot of opportunity to game. I AM still gaming, but it’s a lot of semi-afk sporadic stuff that doesn’t really get me anywhere until I finally look back and think about it.

I’m working on collecting pets, leveling pets, doing dailies, and not much more. It’s slow, but it’s fun. I also managed to participate in some LFR and got a few upgrades! I was praised for my healing in the latest LFR that opened last week, and it left me with a really good feeling.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Tour de Fleece – Stage 14

I did some plying, I did a 2 ply for the smaller bobbin and then I practiced a navajo ply for the remainder – which was a disaster, and a LOT harder than it looks. It left me with a bulky weight yarn on the navajo, and a DK on the 2 ply. After I decided I’d start some merino/nylon that I bought. It’s white and a bit boring, but REALLY silky smooth to spin and just beautiful roving top.

Stage 13

I can’t spin yet today because my bobbins are full, so for stage 13 of Tour de Fleece I dug out my spindle. The fiber is old and felted and spinning is slow but it’s rewarding and still great for drafting muscle memory. This is corridale I dyed with kool-aid back in 2016

TDF Stage 12

I finished off my merino/silk blend, so now the singles will rest and I’ll ply them. I looked up different types of plying, and I’m thinking I might do a 2ply until the lighter bobbin is empty, and then teach myself the navajo ply which would only require one bobbin of yarn, and you ply onto an empty one. I still have a bit of the red wool of the andes left, so I figure I can practice on that one before trying it on the good stuff.

This would give me a 3 ply yarn, and I haven’t made one of those yet. Should be fun!

After all that, maybe I’ll spin my merino/nylon blend, I haven’t decided yet. I do have a bit of plain merino as well.
