Spinning the Weekend Away
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!

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

It is pretty - particularly that first one.
Posted by: Chris at January 14, 2008 8:07 AM
I find spinning very exciting! They are all beautiful!
Posted by: Kirsten at January 14, 2008 8:08 AM
And pretty it is.
Posted by: Mindy at January 14, 2008 8:18 AM
They can't ALL be exciting! The spinning is amazing.

Ooohhh, Carole - they are all beautiful! I have been staying up with NaSpiMoMo as well - spinning every day is good for the psyche!
Posted by: Kat at January 14, 2008 8:30 AM
Yes, very pretty! No excitement here, either. Sometimes that's not such a bad thing!
Posted by: Leslie at January 14, 2008 8:30 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!
Posted by: Cheryl at January 14, 2008 9:44 AM
Wow! That is a lot of spinning, so lovely.

Sometimes the quiet weekends are the best.

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!

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.
Posted by: aimeed at January 14, 2008 10:08 AM
Very pretty! It actually is exciting to see all the spinning you've accomplished.
Posted by: Beth at January 14, 2008 10:26 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.
Posted by: Hillary at January 14, 2008 10:39 AM
Sounds like a perfect weekend to me. Wow, you have been spinning a lot! It all looks great.
Posted by: Karen at January 14, 2008 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.
Posted by: Deb at January 14, 2008 10:55 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!
Posted by: elizabeth at January 14, 2008 11:03 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)
Posted by: JessaLu at January 14, 2008 11:17 AM
Sure is pretty! And productive.
Posted by: Laurie at January 14, 2008 11:23 AM
it's very pretty. and your weekend was more exciting than mine.
Posted by: maryse at January 14, 2008 11:26 AM
Wow, that's a LOT of spinning!
Posted by: Danielle at January 14, 2008 11:28 AM
Very lovely colors - glad it was a relaxing weekend, I agree, we all need those right now!
(((hugs)))

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.
Posted by: Kelli at January 14, 2008 11:38 AM
WOW! Great colors!!! The bobbin with the blue/yellow is really pretty!!!
Posted by: Sara at January 14, 2008 11:47 AM
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!
Posted by: Manise at January 14, 2008 12:07 PM
I've been doing some of the very same thing. Yours look so lovely. Is that one bobbin for each wheel?? (big grin)
Posted by: Teyani at January 14, 2008 12:20 PM
It's gorgeous! Pleasant is very good!
Posted by: Carol at January 14, 2008 12:30 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!
Posted by: Cookie at January 14, 2008 12:47 PM
Relaxing is good! I am impressed by your spinning.
Posted by: Bridget at January 14, 2008 12:49 PM
Exciting can be seriously over-rated. ;) You've definitely been busy at the wheel! Lovely work. :)
Posted by: Jessica at January 14, 2008 1:19 PM
Not pretty ..
GORGEOUS!
You sure know how to spin some beautiful fiber. Looks like you had the perfect weekend if you ask me.
Posted by: ~Kristie at January 14, 2008 1:22 PM
they're very pretty, and looks like hours of work. glad you could have a relaxing weekend after the holidays.
Posted by: the boogyman's wife at January 14, 2008 1:53 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!!
Posted by: Susanne at January 14, 2008 2:37 PM
Commitment free weekend? What's that?
That's some pretty yarn you've got going there.
Posted by: Julie at January 14, 2008 2:41 PM
Very pretty! If that's a non-productive weekend, I'd hate to see what you can accomplish when you keep yourself busy!
Posted by: Ruth at January 14, 2008 2:57 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.)
Posted by: Lucia at January 14, 2008 10:58 PM
Do you just move from wheel to wheel?
Posted by: Alarming Female at January 15, 2008 1:27 AM
They're all gorgeous! I want to spin pretty like that one day. How long have you been a spinner?
Posted by: Wool Winder at January 15, 2008 10:06 AM
Gorgeous spinning! You did that all this month? Nice job!
(also, your Juno Regina looks AMAZING!)
Posted by: Tina at January 15, 2008 3:43 PM
Sounds pretty exciting to me. :-) Beautiful yarn!
Posted by: jessie at January 16, 2008 5:31 AM
What is that top fiber? That is lucious. Makes me think of the recycled silk colors.
