Spinning the Weekend Away

January 14, 2008 By Carole

I know that many of you look forward to my Monday posts because I often have stories about exciting stuff I did over the weekend. Well, I hate to disappoint, but if you’re here for one of those type of posts, you’re in the wrong place. My weekend was very pleasant but it was far from exciting.

There was plenty of time for hanging around the house, grocery shopping, visiting friends and, of course, knitting and spinning. I suppose it could be considered dull but after the whirlwind of the holidays it was actually very nice to have a commitment free weekend. Doesn’t make for a lot of blog fodder, though, you know?

To redeem myself and entertain you I took some pictures of the spinning I’ve been doing for NaSpiMoMo.

It may not be all that exciting but at least it’s pretty.

    Your spinning is beatiful.
    I love those kinds of weekends. They may not be exciting but they are great for recharging.

    Beautiful bobbins of lovely yarn to be! The one thing I cannot imagine doing right now is spinning. 🙁

    Beautiful spinning…love your color choices. I’ve managed to spin every day this month so far…yipee!

  4. Kathy says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:01 am

    So pretty! And good to make room for new fiber — SPA!

  5. Chris says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:07 am

    It is pretty – particularly that first one.

  6. Kirsten says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:08 am

    I find spinning very exciting! They are all beautiful!

  7. Mindy says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:18 am

    And pretty it is.

  8. norma says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:28 am

    They can’t ALL be exciting! The spinning is amazing.

  9. Kat says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:30 am

    Ooohhh, Carole – they are all beautiful! I have been staying up with NaSpiMoMo as well – spinning every day is good for the psyche!

  10. Leslie says

    January 14, 2008 at 8:30 am

    Yes, very pretty! No excitement here, either. Sometimes that’s not such a bad thing!

  11. Cheryl says

    January 14, 2008 at 9:44 am

    Ooh, I like that top bobbin! It’s that those crazy batts that we bought at Rhinebeck? I forgot all about that until right this minute!

  12. Teresa C says

    January 14, 2008 at 9:51 am

    Wow! That is a lot of spinning, so lovely.

  13. Amy says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:00 am

    Sometimes the quiet weekends are the best.

  14. Jen Lamb says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:03 am

    Beautiful!!! Makes me want to get my butt in gear and get back to my spinning wheel thats been sitting there looking back at me while collecting 2″ of dust!

  15. aimeed says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:08 am

    I think you forget your audience. I love to see your beautiful spinning, and can’t imagine a better weekend than one full of relaxation, knitting and lots of spinning! Thanks for sharing the wonderful pics.

  16. Beth says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:26 am

    Very pretty! It actually is exciting to see all the spinning you’ve accomplished.

  17. Hillary says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Very nice and not boring at all. I meant to spin this weekend but somehow it never happened. I especially like the first bobbin and the greenish one.

  18. Karen says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:55 am

    Sounds like a perfect weekend to me. Wow, you have been spinning a lot! It all looks great.

  19. Deb says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:55 am

    See now – as a soon to be, hopeful spinner, I find this to be so inspiring. I’m getting that “I just can’t wait” feeling just looking at your lovley bobbins full of potential.

  20. elizabeth says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:03 am

    Oooh, you’ve been spinning a lot! I have too, ever since Distaff Day. You should give us a rundown on what’s on the bobbins! Details, details!

  21. JessaLu says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:17 am

    It’s very pretty! You’ve spun a lot more than I have this month. I need to get in front of the wheel. :o)

  22. Laurie says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:23 am

    Sure is pretty! And productive.

  23. maryse says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:26 am

    it’s very pretty. and your weekend was more exciting than mine.

  24. Danielle says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:28 am

    Wow, that’s a LOT of spinning!

  25. Knitnana says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:34 am

    Very lovely colors – glad it was a relaxing weekend, I agree, we all need those right now!
    (((hugs)))

  26. Kelli says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:38 am

    Sometimes (like today) I would much rather have pretty than exciting. I made little knit/felted barnyard animals all day Sunday. Not very exciting, but definitely cute.

  27. Sara says

    January 14, 2008 at 11:47 am

    WOW! Great colors!!! The bobbin with the blue/yellow is really pretty!!!

  28. Manise says

    January 14, 2008 at 12:07 pm

    Crosspatch Creations “Totally Tubular” Batt at the top there! I ran across mine in the stash yesterday. Should haul it out and give it whirl on the wheel! Did you like it? Did you tackle it in any particular way? That’s a lot of spinning you did! Nice job!

  29. Teyani says

    January 14, 2008 at 12:20 pm

    I’ve been doing some of the very same thing. Yours look so lovely. Is that one bobbin for each wheel?? (big grin)

  30. Carol says

    January 14, 2008 at 12:30 pm

    It’s gorgeous! Pleasant is very good!

  31. Cookie says

    January 14, 2008 at 12:47 pm

    For some of us, exciting means something bad has happened. Boring is good. Not that your spinning could ever be boring. It’s gorgeous!

  32. Bridget says

    January 14, 2008 at 12:49 pm

    Relaxing is good! I am impressed by your spinning.

  33. Jessica says

    January 14, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    Exciting can be seriously over-rated. 😉 You’ve definitely been busy at the wheel! Lovely work. 🙂

  34. ~Kristie says

    January 14, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    Not pretty ..
    GORGEOUS!

    You sure know how to spin some beautiful fiber. Looks like you had the perfect weekend if you ask me.

  35. the boogyman's wife says

    January 14, 2008 at 1:53 pm

    they’re very pretty, and looks like hours of work. glad you could have a relaxing weekend after the holidays.

  36. Susanne says

    January 14, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    That is a lot of pretty yarn in the making!! Congrats on a nice quiet weekend. One we all need and should have at least 1/4!!

  37. Julie says

    January 14, 2008 at 2:41 pm

    Commitment free weekend? What’s that?

    That’s some pretty yarn you’ve got going there.

  38. Ruth says

    January 14, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    Very pretty! If that’s a non-productive weekend, I’d hate to see what you can accomplish when you keep yourself busy!

  39. Lucia says

    January 14, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    Excitement is highly overrated; your brilliant colorways are enough for me.

    (I’d have been here sooner, but your blog seemed to be down earlier.)

  40. Alarming Female says

    January 15, 2008 at 1:27 am

    Do you just move from wheel to wheel?

  41. Wool Winder says

    January 15, 2008 at 10:06 am

    They’re all gorgeous! I want to spin pretty like that one day. How long have you been a spinner?

  42. Tina says

    January 15, 2008 at 3:43 pm

    Gorgeous spinning! You did that all this month? Nice job!

    (also, your Juno Regina looks AMAZING!)

  43. jessie says

    January 16, 2008 at 5:31 am

    Sounds pretty exciting to me. 🙂 Beautiful yarn!

  44. Helen says

    January 17, 2008 at 1:35 am

    What is that top fiber? That is lucious. Makes me think of the recycled silk colors.
