kitty: update yarn a day challenge 2009

April 5 -

Medium Gray Corriedale Silver

Since I knew I would be getting back from DC late, I left this yarn on the bobbin. So I took it off the bobbin and set it before I went to bed. Not exactly spinning on the 5th, but yarn making.

Where there is a will there is a way. I have broken my spindle, so the only thing I had was a pencil and a paperclip. It worked. Just a bit of a challenge. I remember Andrea writing about being bored at work a long time ago so I knew it could be done.

Spun on a fruit pencil with a paperclip.

kitty: yarn a day challenge 2009

Yarn a Day Challenge

So how much trouble can you get yourself into on Twitter? The answer would be to sign up for Yarn a Day Challenge for the month of April.

Tara of Blonde Chicken Boutique came up with the idea of challenging herself to spin a yarn everyday this month. So being the great enabler she is, she tweeted about it. Next thing I knew I had agreed to participate.

All things kindof took off:
Ravelry - Flickr group.

The idea is to spin every day and challenge yourself.
