Anyone want?

(pictures without and with flash) A nice large bump of red/natural brown Romney Roving? It is about 1500gm, so there is more than enough for a sweater (I had planned an aran or gansey). It spins easily altho there are a few neps that managed to get through the carding process. I was looking for red, and this is more of a rust because of all the brown.

So I think it would be happier at someone else’s house. It is not superwash, so recarding and felting would also be a possibility. Please drop me a comment if you want it (only thing I am looking for is postage).

It even motivated me to work some more on the trash heap –

I still need a working surface

but you can start to see the floor!

As well as the spinning wheels which are much more entertaining than finishing.

Books & Audio Books

I am also sorting and packing up books. I have a couple of boxes to head downrange and more to go on the local swap shelves.

And the there are the old Suspense Theater Radio Broadcasts complete with advertising of the time. Car makes no longer exist, and Ronald Regean in radio roles.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    Hi Holly,

    has anyone already said “me, me” for the romney? The colours of spring and autumn suit me best, so this would be just wonderful. Plus the bonus, that I could come and pick it up 😉 Or we could meet at the Spinnzirkel (though I haven’t found the details yet and would have to mail Anette first).

    So what do you think?

  2. Add me next if deal falls thru on the red. Also interested in the Alpaca if it hasn’t found a new home.

    Holly, I know it’s driving you mad, but it is SO comforting to see someone else’s chaos! I lay awake last night thinking of several heaps on the floor of my own workshop/dumping area and could only find sleep in the end by vowing to take big packages to the charity shop today. DO something about it, I told myself severely. And now I see you competently doing something too!

    Wow, I think it would be more fair to give it to someone, you actually know in person, i.e. not me *lol*
