4th of July, Three Fates Yarns and Tour De Fleece

My Daughter and Son-in-law invited me to come for a BBQ at their home on July 3rd. Sean went with me and we spent a great day with family and friends. We did a walking tour of their new neighborhood (a lovely place), the food was wonderful and we crafted the evening away. Alicia and I made sheep shaped stitch markers for the swap at Sock Summit at the end of the month. It was amazing to be in a large city as darkness fell during 4th of July weekend. It sounded like a war zone, bangs and pops and flashes of color in the sky, fireworks of all kinds everywhere.

My shawl knitting is on a slow down as Tour De Fleece has started. It is a month of spinning daily. So far I have spun and plyed 4 oz of BFL roving that I purchased from Three Fates Yarns. I LOVE BFL, it is so soft and feels so good as it slides through my fingers while I am spinning and I know that it will feel just as nice when I am knitting it later. I can't wait to get more roving from Three Fates Yarns, on the Three Fates site today I saw a roving called hedgerows that I would like to have. I was looking at some of her rovings at a potluck on the 2nd, I did not make a note of the colorway unfortunately but I will know it again when I see it.It was light blue and had black or navy or charcoal in it as well.  I liked the contrast of light and dark. One of my favorite colorways for the yarn is Horizon, I wonder if she ever does that colorway in roving???? hint hint,
