All in a few days' work

Life has gone from busy to CRAZY busy for me this week. I am a substitute teacher for a private school close to me, and the Jr. High teacher is out this week (he and his wife had their first child Monday morning). So, not a whole lot of spinning is happening this week. Instead, I'm reading literature and studying history and science so that I can review with the students for their Nine Weeks' Exams. (It is nearly impossible to review something that you haven't looked at, so I've got LOTS of reading to do each night.)

However, this did not come as a shock to me. I mean, babies have a way of giving you a while to prepare (although the actual coming is usually unannounced). Since I knew the baby was coming soon, I tried to spin a LOT last weekend.

Thursday, I finished spinning the singles for this Gwion targhee (it was plied on Friday):

Friday, I spun most of the singles for these two skeins of Coastal Sunset BFL (plied on Saturday):

Also on Saturday, I spun this Superfine Merino - my first ever attempt at thick/thin singles:

And spun singles for two more skeins of the Coastal Sunset. And spun about an ounce of Bella merino (spun fine, for a lightweight 2ply).

Sunday, I plied the rest of the Coastal Sunset, and finished up the first bobbin of Bella.

Next - I need to do 4oz more of the Coastal Sunset (which will make a total of 20oz altogether), and the second bobbin of Bella... but that will have to wait. First, I must learn enough 7th/8th grade literature, science, and history to be able to review for the next few days.
