This weekend I attended our local guild "Knitting in the Heartland" spring conference. I had a great time. I went to the vendor market and didn't buy yarn, yay! But I couldn't resist getting some spinning fiber. It was just too luscious to resist.
I bought shades of green such as this green alpaca:
I am normally not a "blue person" but for the past month or so I've been really CRAVING blue. Here's some blue fiber I got.
And finally my FAVORITE thing. I just LOVE the colors in this gorgeous roving. They are colors that normally wouldn't go together. I never guessed that shades of pink, blue, lavendar and teracotta would go well together - but this colorway looks AMAZING to me. Especially for spring. For some reason, the addition of that autumnal orangish/brownish color really makes this otherwise spring colorway "pop" and I love it.
So all in all, in spite of the cold/rainy weather (will we ever see sun again?) I had a fabulous time and hopefully spinning up some of this springlike roving goodness will make me feel much better. Now if I could just sit outside on my deck one SUNNY day - please PLEASE let there ever be sun and warmth again - then I will show you how it spins up.

Love that bottom roving. D-E-licious!
Spring will come, I promise! I'm usually a winter person, but even I am anxious for the warm weather. I just started spinning around Christmas and had never even considered spinning outside in the sun, but that does sound wonderful right now!
I like the new look of your blog. Very different, just like the blue rovings. Happy Spinning in the sun.
Those gorgeous colors have me wishing for spring. Can hardly wait to see what you make!
It was such a great time!
