Sharon's lovely roving spun

This week's post is from last weekend's January Spin-in at the Palms in Destin Florida.  Another couple of grand and glorious days.  The conference rooms are taken over by lovely fiber people, selling and buying, spinning and knitting, chatting and eating.   It is an annual occurrence thanks to two wonderful women who put on a heck of a party year after year.  Everyone sets up in spinning circles with stuffed sheep and bunnies and overflowing baskets of fluff around them!  The art-yarn group was set up next to us with HUGE bulky fliers and colorful bits of sparkle, eyelash, silk flowers and heavens knows what else to magically spin into fabulous yarns. The basket above is half a pound of BFL all spun up during the weekend.  It is going to be a lovely ring that morphs into a hat. The grey is some alpaca blend from my stash that I took to spin on a drop spindle.  Next year's theme is "Shawl we dance" so I also bought roving that will become a shawl for next year.  Photos later.
