Well, I happened to pull a bag out with what I had spun of it and realized I only had a few feet left to spin! So the other night, I focused my efforts on spindling up the rest of the roving. I cheated a bit in that Lil' Emp decided he wanted to spin, so he actually spun up some of it. So here are his efforts:
And here, all my Pomegranate roving, ALL SPUN UP!!! I sure hope it will be enough for a pair of socks!
So now that I've spun up a whole braid of roving, does this mean I get to buy more at Stitches West?! OK, for the record, Nartian and IrishGirlieKnits--NO Addi Clicks, NO Signature DPNs, NO patterns, NO MORE ROVING (I already got the Pigeon Roof Studios bonus last time at Article Pract and supported our local artist!) SOCK CAMP! SOCK CAMP! SOCK CAMP!!!
The good thing is that, though I willl be at SW this whole weekend, at least I will be kept busy working and hopefully won't have time to do too much damage. It is not realistic to think I will not purchase a thing, but I think it is reasonable to try and be much more controlled this time around! We'll see...
TWO MORE DAYS!!!! I'm sooooo excited!
ETA: ok, we often say we shouldn't present all 'nos' to little kids. So on the positive side: YES, I may purchase a reasonable amount of STR (a couple for gifts, maybe one or two for me...), YES, I may purchase a spindle (it's my Carolina Homespun/Stitches/TKGA tradition!), and perhaps one or two other special somethings...I will have fun! I will see great friends!

Yay for Stitches and Sock Camp! Hey, on ravelry I saw someone post, "I'm on a diet, not a fast." So a reasonable amount of STR and a few special somethings doesn't sound bad. :)
See you at Stitches!
Have fun at Stitches! I'm hoping to make it this weekend at some point.
Gorgeous gorgeous spinning!! Good for you!!
I'm with cupcakefaerie.... diet, not a fast. I have been destashing though, just to be on the safe side!
Lil Emp's a good little spinner!
We'll just have to tell Cockeyed & Ettamae to keep you busy, but as cupcakefaerie says, it's a diet, not a complete moritorium.
I LOVE that yarn you spun! I'll be working at the Yarndogs booth on Sunday; if you're there, come say hi. (I may also be walking around, wishing I could buy things, during the preview tomorrow night.)
