Just a little catch-up....

I just thought I would add a couple of photo's to prove that, although it's taking me far longer than it should (something I had better get used to - see other ) I am still spining folks! I have finished half of the Fine Wool Tops in Green Great and am on the final straight on the other half. Looking foward to plying it (one of my favourite jobs!) and then all that is left is the washing and blocking - the really fun bit!
