Tour de Fleece

A while back, I had bought a spindle and some fiber. And that was it. I never did anything else with it. (eyeroll)

So this year, as motivation, I've signed up for Tour de Fleece on Ravelry. I have my Respect the Spindle book by Abby Franquemont and have started reading up to get myself prepared for TdF.

My plan is, since this starts the day before I leave for vacation, is to take my spindle, fleece, book and Kindle Fire with me so I can practice practice practice! I'm sure I'll need videos to show me what the heck to do, but at least now, through the book, I know I bought a top whorl, suspended spindle. That's really more than I knew when I bought the thing!

Stayed tuned for spinning goodness!

On the podcast front, I've been slacking! My iPod is full of podcasts and I'm hoping to get back into listening on vacation. One of my favorites though is Science....Sort of. We have a bunch of scientists who set out to prove that scientists are not dull people. There's not much wrong with this podcast, from the science topics they discuss, to the beer drinking segment, to the trailer trash talk segment. You don't need to be a scientist to listen!
