Fit in a bit of spinning time during my morning meeting! I felt myself starting to zone out over hardware/firmware/software policy differences and realized I'd pay better attention if I did something with my hands before I was tempted to look at my email.

Spinning update: started bobbin 2! I don't know if I should count this for #FallFinishAlong since it's highly unlikely I'll finish this one for quite some time, but it's progress on a WIP nonetheless!

Off the bobbins. It's actually really well balanced, much to my surprise. I always forget how much twist you can get away with when plying! 100m ish, DK weight ish. #handspun #handspinning #FiberCrafts #FibreCrafts #eewnano2
Urgh! That was hard work. Chain plying on the little Electric Eel Nano 2. Much harder than on my treadle wheel. But it's plied. I'll set the twist tomorrow and then there's probably a gnome to be made from this. #spinning #handspinning #FiberCrafts #FibreCrafts #eewnano2

#TourDeFleece2023 is done, but I'm still spinning .My goal for this year was to be careful about setting a timer and listening to my body, and it's worked out really well! And since I'm *not* sore, that means I can keep going without taking a break after the event (and losing my spinning mojo). Win!

Haven't done much spinning in the last week. But just finished this 50g. Now to decide how to ply it. #spinning #eewnano2 #handspinning #FiberCrafts #FiberArts #FibreCrafts #TourdeFleece

#TourDeFleece progress! 15 minutes per day really adds up: the first day that was enough to leave my right hand achy, but a week later it's not such a strain. My goal for this year is still not to overdo it, so I'm continuing to mind the timer and enjoying the journey.

#TourDeFleece2023 time! Since I hurt myself overdoing it last year I'm aiming to set a timer and be more careful this year, so this is 15 minutes on my EEW Nano 2 . It's been a couple of months since I did any spinning.

Had one of those days yesterday and took a picture for the #Fiberuary prompts but forgot to post it. Anyhow, here's my little rainbow -y spin with my new EEW Nano 2. One of my fiber goals for last year was "rainbows" but I'm not stopping just because this year has new goals. 🌈🌈🌈

This year's goals are here, btw: https://curiousity.ca/2023/fiber-goals-2023/

Plying time!

Given how small the nano is I don't really expect to use it for plying yarn much when I've got the big wheel right there, but I wanted to try it out, so this is a chain ply of my very first fibers spun on the blue beastie. Probably a bit overspun but it was fun!
