Here are some recent projects . . . in no particular order:
My Hanne Falkenberg Jacket thus far. This is the left front, side gore, and part of the left sleeve.
Dirty, dirty alpaca batt. Anyone know how to remove this crap?
Cotswold I'm selling on e-bay. Ho, ho, ho!
Some of the discount fiber I got at the Red Needle's going out of business sale. This is about half of a 4 ounce bundle of hand-dyed roving I bought. It's very fun to spin, and is inspiring me to dye some more roving . . . 
A close-up of the merino/cashmere 2-ply I'm spinning. This is soft as a duck's belly, and the brown is very complex and interesting. There are hints of lavender, gold, teal and purple throughout. Click for a close-up, and you'll see what I mean . . .
This skein is a little over 200 yards. That brings my grand total spun so far (of this fiber) to about 450 yards. I still have a fair amount of this to spin -- not sure exactly how much. And now, because I am trying to be a good, disciplined girl, I will sign off and peruse the want ads. Ick.

A tip for cleaning fleece: 2 old screen doors/windows, something to use as "table legs", leaf blower.
Make a "table" out of a screen and cinder blocks/books, etc. , put a thin layer of the fleece on the screen, cover with second screen, secure two screens together (bugie cords, etc.) and have at it with the leaf blower.
Preferrably done outside. ;-)
I read about your road trip to the Red Wheel; you passed almost within spitting distance of my house. I'm about 10 miles south of Franktown to the west of 83.
Hope everything is ok, haven't heard from you in a while. :)
