Spin challenge update

I've been spinning in earnest. Every day I've been spinning either on the wheel or spindle, but mainly with the spindle. I'm not too sure what it is about spindle spinning that makes it so satisfying. Maybe it's the act of the fibres sliding past each other with ease. Or maybe it is the meditative effects of the twirling spindle. Whatever it is I just can't get enough.

I've been spinning a braid of BFL roving from Turtlepurl. This is my second time spinning her stuff and I love it. What I don't love is plying on a spindle. I've learned from experience that spindle plying will send me into a tear-induced fit of rage. I now ply on the wheel. Much, much easier.

So here's a photo of my progress. I'm plugging along. I'm over halfway done the braid. I should be done by the end of the month.
