I've been washing raw fleece in my sink and boy does my house smell like sheep. Yep, wet sheep, a smell akin to wet dog, but not as nice on the nose. I've also finished knitting cleaves with the merino but instead of showing the whole world (or, um, the 3 people that read this) me in my skivvies and merino cleaves, I'm gonna wait and post pics tomorrow, but it is soft and pretty.
It's late and I just got back from the the second meeting of the new baltimore spinning/fiber arts group. I spun up some black wool/mohair for a devilishly nasty bit of red and black yarn I'm making for the hot guy that lives with me. There were a few new faces there tonight, oh wait, kinda the same faces what's she doing here, and she can SPIN?, and my favorite should someone sneak out while she's turned the other way and call security? But I've got news for you L.A.D.I.E.S, I never turn away -- Bwahahahahaha! Yeah, so there was a bit of a clod shoulder at first and then I started spinning and giving what few hints I know, and, I admit it, showing off, and they warmed right up from calling that tattooed girl to calling me jessie, which btw, is not my name.
I'm kidding a bit. I really do enjoy the whole thing, the ladies are nice and it's quite good to look to my right and left and see other people spinning, or at least trying to spin. So take me with a grain of salt, it's a goodish group, you should join!
