Tour de Fleece, day 1

After fortifying ourselves with a hearty breakfast, the gals and I headed down to the Third Place Books Commons for a little quality time with our spinning wheels.

I had planned on starting the tour with a new project, what is it they say about plans . . . anyway, I ended up finishing [...]

look . . . spinning

 I bet you all had just about given up on ever seeing any fiber content on this blog again.  Well, I fooled you . . . right? . . . no? You mean you all knew I was just a slacker and eventually I would post again?  Okay, that works too.
