Knitting Dragonflies

Here is 8 oz of roving that I bought about a year ago at the Smoky Mountain Spinnery I bought it with the idea to spin some yarn for a shawl, I only had a spindle at the time, now I have a Lendrum wheel . I fell in love with this colorway and I bought it while we were sweaty and recovering from a long hike in the mountains. Here was my inspiration… If you spin check out the blog , ravelry groups and flicker groups. Even if you don’t spin there are some inspiring photos. May you spindles fly as fast as dragonflies Technorati Tags: Tour de fleece 2009 , spinning , fiber , yarn , spindles , smoky mountain spinnery
