First up Corriedale - a new to me fiber. It was pure joy to spin, especially thick. I typically spin fingering weight and my goal for TdF was to spin thicker to get more done.

Then I went to a known to me fiber and did a two ply in BLF.

And lastly another new to be fiber Targhee which I split into a psuedo gradient.

I am glad TdF is ended, but I enjoyed this one so much!! I am looking forward to a new outlook on spinning and getting more spinning done. I was also happy since I went through physical therapy not too long ago for shoulder/neck pain I was cognizant of posture and repetitive motions and I didn't hurt myself spinning!! Towards the end I was feeling it, but nothing too outrageous. In the past I have not spun very much because of pain ... no more issues with that!!!
I also finally got over my not spinning because I didn't want to "ruin" the fiber ... I now have at least (I stopped counting) 48 club shipments of ITW ... so I have no problems using this for "practice" spinning. I have pounds and POUNDS of fiber in my stash ... no more waiting until I get "better" or this or that to use up this fiber ... its taking over the house, LOL!
Besides, last time I checked, you don't actually get BETTER at something unless you DO IT!

I had to laugh when you posted how much ITW stash you have and not wanting to ruin it--I so know the feeling (and have a large ITW stash as well :-). Your spinning is beautiful!

You were definitely busy! I love the colors you spun up! I'm glad it was such a good time. Really pretty :)
