It seems like everywhere I go on Ravelry everyone’s all a-buzz about Tour de Fleece…it started TODAY!! I’m excited because this is the first year I will be participating. For those that don’t know, the Tour was created to coincide with the Tour de France bicycle race, July 2-24. The goal is to commit to spinning everyday of the tour for a certain amount of time…or just see how much you can spin during that time:) For myself I’ve set a goal of at least 30 min a day. I’ll also be spinning as much of my own colorways as possible.
Are you participating in the TDF?? I don't have an offical team for TDF, but if you use GMS fiber, I’d love to see the yarn you make. Please post a picture int the TDF thread in my ravelry group so that we can all oogle it! Who knows…maybe there’s a prize in it for ya?!?

DAY 1:
Started things off with Phat Fiber sample from the June box, 'Space Slime' from
BohoKnitter Chic
Also, kept pluggin away at a giant batt of cotton that was gifted to me by a friend. I think this batt grows when I'm not looking, because it's taking me forever to get through it!
Happy spinning!
