One way to predraft your fibers

| 15 Comments

Sachi sent me some absolutely beautiful fibers, recently, including some Carbonized Bamboo. I spun a little bit of it during lunch today and draped the remainder of the wad I was working on, over the top of El Matchador.

As many of you know, Thea is a great fan of the fiber arts and has shown much interest in my tools, before.

Today, she showed me an alternative method for predrafting. What do you think?

Thank goodness, Sachi sent me a bunch and I only had a small amount out on the wheel.

Thea, do you feel sorry?

Ok, no hard feelings. I can't be mad at you.
Anyway, look at your face, you are so cute and sweet and such a good little girl, I just love you to pieces and....

HEY! That just seems unnecessary.

Don't you hate it when they play the "too cute to boot" tactic??

HA! What, Thea- no tutorial? ;) Then again, it does look like the result of a spontaneous burst of creativity. :) If you promise to scratch her ears for me, I would be happy to pinch the Peanuts' cheeks for you! xo

OMG!!! It's awful but, I'm sorry... I just can't stop laughing!

p.s. At least it doesn't felt.

Tee, hee! I love your pictures. I think our pets definitely have one up on us -- they're too cute to get really mad at.

Recently, I left my current WIP sitting on the couch for a few minutes, only to hear a sudden crunching noise (my bamboo needles being pierced by Bug's teeth). I actually had a mental discussion with myself when I put my project down about how since Bug was sleeping a room away, there wouldn't be a problem... yah, right. I'm a total genious!

Times like these, I'm so glad that Chappy was already 3 years old by the time I started spinning . . . At least she only "helped" with a little!

My sister-in-law brought me back some fleece "in the grease" from New Zealand. Guess who thought it smelled alluringly like sheep? Yep, the poodle.

Thea is a cutie pie, and it never fails to amuse me seeing pictures of her and Panda together. They coordinate so well!

Animals and fiber!!
My cat thinks that spinning fiber is her own personal toy. She loves the way it floats around and she loves how she can eat it and claw it and make it go fluffy.
She's also fond of needles, and dangling bits of working yarn. :)

What it it with these monochromatic types? But wook atter, who's the bestest helper? You are, Thea! You are, yes! Good giirrrrl!

The other day, Dot picked up a little stuffed toy from my desk and started walked reeeaalllly slowly away with it, as though her movement was so imperceptibly slow that I wouldn't even notice the cat statue on my desk was leaving.

Being the disciplined mother I am, I told her no and smooched her for being so cute and clever.

What a stinker. Z has felt pent up post-spay and destroyed her first object ever this week - the top of the wicker hamper. There were pieces everywhere, but as destruction goes, it didn't seem too bad. Likewise, I'm guessing that fiber is salvageable - especially since you have those fancy combs.

What personality your creatures have! How expressive those faces are, and soooo darn cute!

I actually awwwwwwed out loud!

The 'are you sorry' pic seems like she knows what she did, had fun doing it, and would do it again, ha ha!

Girls just wanna have fu-un!

How can you get mad at a face like that? :)

I have a photo o Lucy looking like she is sticking her tong out too and I am saving it for just the right moment...BAD DOG!

Thea looks really proud of her work in that top picture. She probably figured she was being like you.
