I have managed to spin a bit each day. My pink is getting fatter but I still have more room to fill on the bobbin yet.
I started spindling on my Turkish Spindle at the Craft and Quilting Show at Glebe Island in Sydney on Thursday while helping out on the Spinning and Weaving Guilds stand.
I took my felted boots and some spun skeins for display at the stand. I'll be back there again with my spindle on Sunday.
And last night I worked on my multi coloured merino (this was one of my dyeing experiments using leftover dye from my sample project). I'm taking random long thin strips and spinning it then I think I will Navajo Ply the single.

A great day out (single day ticket $18 but I think it's $15 if you buy it online) but use public transport (free buses and ferries from the city to the event, you'll still need to pay for the train or bus into the city) and pack your food and drink if you can. Parking at the event will cost you $35 before noon and $20 after noon, a large coffee (not that large) will set you back $5 and the small chicken and salad wrap I bought was a shocking $8.50. They know how to price gouge if you're not prepared and seriously you want that extra money to spend on your stash, right!
Some of the knitting stands - there's lots of other craft stands but my focus is on knitting and spinning.

And finally my stash addition
Now back to spinning - have a great day everyone!!!
