That's what I think when I look at this:

It's as though someone likes dandelion flowers so much they've pulled the petals off them & shredded the greens in a food processor.  It's my purchase from this past weekend's "Art on the Bay", which I got to skim through on my lunch half-hour Saturday.  A whetting of the appetite, possibly, for the coming weekend's Castle Farms Fiber Fest?  I'm working Saturday again, so I suppose it'll have to be Sunday if I can get there . . .

That's my new square, purple-stained spindle from Spinsanity.  Pretty & it doesn't roll around!  =)

I've been feeling so very busy this month!  I've been trained to man Reference at the library to fill in for a staff member currently recovering from surgery.  This tickles my Mom no end, being a former Reference Librarian herself.  This week I started to kind of enjoy it, finding my sea legs so to speak.  Thursday I felt so competent & productive!  It's a fantastic feeling.  I am so thankful I can hardly express it, praise God!

I need to knit more, though.  =)  There just aren't enough hours! 

More spinning, a Navajo three-ply of wool by Suzie from Perchance to Knit:

My little kittygirl is fairly content, too . . .

Wasted not after-combings, spun, 2ply, dyed with lemon-lime Kool Aid, 2 packets for 2 skeins 86yds & 71 yds, respectively.  Each skein came out slightly different, one slightly more intense & even -- not that even was what I was after.  Anyway, I like them!  No idea yet what to make with it.

Moka just wants to know why her mousie has no tail. 

I've got a new spindle - homemade polymer clay disc, drilled on my brother's drillpress so the hole is in the exact center.  She's a good spinner & pretty, too!  Loves her, I do, my tall spindle.  She's got some plied-on-the-fly Suffolk wool on her, perhaps one day to be dyed & knit into socks.  I keep thinking sock yarn because the wool has such a lovely sproingy crimp to it, and it's a three ply. 

OMG -- close encounter with a little moth!!  Gasp!!!  Killed, but holey flying sheepshit, I hope there aren't any more!!  Catching my breath, calm, calm.  I'm calm.  Maybe it's time to get some huge ziplocs & empty the freezer to make room for the wool.  Oh, gee. 

Anyway, I'm also spinning the "waste" from the combed top for the 3ply above.  Waste not, want not!  Lumpy, bumpy "designer" yarn!  That's what I'll have.  Oh, last night I implulsively started knitting a cotton market bag, just for fun.  That'll be finished soon. 

Below, handspun sock yarn, 169 yards 3ply:

The necessary cat, too -- below, paw-fencing with my Dad.

I'm just so jazzed about this new (to me) technique!  It's called "Ply on the Fly", which you can learn on Rosemary's blog (linked) & I've managed some of my best Navajo 3 ply ever this way.  It's so much fun, I've hardly put down my spindle in my free time.

I'm still plugging away on Enchantress, though . . .

I seem to have a very long foot. . . but soon I will be turning the heel.  Moka doesn't mind her human's big feet, though!

Because I didn't take a picture myself, there is a better *here*.
