I rented a drum carder from the Spinners Guild in the hopes that I could get my bags of alpaca fleece ready for spinning.
Turns out the teeth on the carder are too corse for alpaca so I am blending some wool of unknown origin with it.
The wool is a little rough, but with the alpaca blended with it, its not too bad.
Jeanette, my sister-in-law in England offered to knit some slippers with it for me if I send it to her.
Say no more. It will be its way as soon as I can get it spun!
Knitting is not my forte.
Not good when you like to spin!
I took some pix of the rovings that I have so far, problem is, they are not down-loading (or is it up-loading?) from the camera to the computer..gerrrrr..!!!!! Frustrating!!!!!!
Will post them when I figure out the problem.
Meanwhile..A couple of pictures of the roses in my garden for my dear friend Sharon.
One of her close friends died in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Love and a hug Sharon. I am thinking of you.
