I went to Starbucks the other day and ordered a hot chocolate and pumpkin bread for a special treat, and I couldn't even finish half of either one. I couldn't believe how overly sweet they tasted after not having many sweets lately!<br /><br />Oh my goodness, I plied up the first skein and it is like marshmallow peeps in wool form. Happy Easter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888588970661595703.post-74702150799089551432013-03-30T18:00:18.512-04:002013-03-30T18:00:18.512-04:00Oh my goodness, I LOVE spinning this Corriedale! ...Oh my goodness, I LOVE spinning this Corriedale! I love that it's a bit bland-- I don't have to stop to separate out clumps, and I can listen to podcasts or catch up on television shows and spin purely by feel. Yay for Corriedale! <br /><br />Aww, I love that you had egg hunts for that long, that's so sweet. I hope you have a happy Easter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888588970661595703.post-82606491154515398082013-03-30T17:58:07.279-04:002013-03-30T17:58:07.279-04:00It really was the best Easter present ever. And t...It really was the best Easter present ever. And thank you so much for the compliment, I'm glad to have been motivational! You'll get the hang of spinning, I'm sure of it. It took me a little while to get my tension right, too. My first few skeins were so overspun and underplied! It just takes a little time to get used to how it's supposed to feel when you're at the right tension. It's definitely easier when you're relaxed, though. I hope your exams went well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888588970661595703.post-86688373085358285852013-03-29T06:06:36.956-04:002013-03-29T06:06:36.956-04:0020 pounds?

I love the texture before and after. Your mother is so sweet, and the colors are gorgeous and very springlike. I don't get easter baskets from my parents anymore but we had egg hunts up to my senior year in high school! It just never got not fun so we kept on doing it every year. Fiber is definitely better than candy though.Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334868491094133451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888588970661595703.post-57883957933920966712013-03-28T14:53:04.143-04:002013-03-28T14:53:04.143-04:00Julie, the fibers are gorgeous!

I got a little frustrated because I still can't seem to get the tension right for more than a couple of minutes. Add all the exams and you've got a spinning wheel that hasn't been used for over 4 weeks! :(<br />I hope hope hope that I'll have some time and energy to really get into spinning next month :) Your gorgeous pictures are a great motivation!!!! Thanks :)Mademoiselle Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258764431218609709noreply@blogger.com
