Way back in July I got this really pretty batch of roving which you can see
here. I am still working on spinning it up. Yes, still. There was/is a ton of it. Part of the reason that it is taking me so long to get this finished is that I am having to card it up to get the various and sundry tangles out of it. On my little dog slicker brushes, that is taking a while. The resulting rolags are tiny.
I picked it up again yesterday and finally found a workable system. I card some, spin some. I had been doing all carding and then all spinning and both were getting tedious. I think that I prefer spinning stuff that has at least some color changes to it. The yarn that I am getting is pretty, but the spinning of it leaves much to be desired.
Here is what I did last night = it's still on the niddy noddy:

I really like the results I'm getting. I just wish it wasn't taking me so long to get it done. I really,
really want to play with the fiber that I got at SAFF. I'm trying to be good and finish it first though.
