So over the weekend my freeform cape sold at the art gallery. IMG_20180207_170846_920.jpg

I am ecstatic that it sold but that means it's time to spin more yarn!

So today I will spin this awesome roving.

I also have these sweet BFL locks, from a local farm that I need to wash. I have a busy day ahead of me. Let's hope I can keep motivated.

Congratulations on selling your colorful cape! I love the color of yarn you are spinning! Thanks for sharing with us this week~ 😊

Sold so quickly, that's marvellous. Look forward to seeing the results of your work today.

I was surprised at how fast it sold too. Grateful, though. Thank you! I will post progress later.

Rewarding, in more ways thsn one!

I really like the earthy colours of the roving waiting to be spun @madame-malena !
I have just found the link to the cape. It's brilliant !

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Good job! hard work pays off! The new locks have some beautiful shades in it. Looking forward to see what comes of it ^_^

I am going to try needle felt them to make sort of a John Snow looking cape. I have never needle felted before so hopefully I won't ruin them!

I just looked that up, That would be beautiful. Can't wait to see!!!

I’m very impressed I’ve not tried spinning yet and expect to not be able to for quite some time. I’d really like to see the John Snow cape when you’re done

Thank you! Spinning is so addicting. I lucked out and was able to buy a used wheel for pretty cheap. Otherwise I would have never been able to afford it.
