Swap for Scraps - Round III
For those of you registered and partaking in all the goodness that is Ravelry: Round III of the Swap for Scraps has begun!
Have no idea what all the excitement is about? HERE is a short post about the first time I joined the swap, and HERE is a post about the finished product spun up from the scraps I received.
Great, now that you know what I am talking about...
Guess who is hosting this round?!
Good guess! I am so excited to play swap host!
Over the next few weeks I anticipate the arrival of some 30 or so packages of fibery goodness from around the world. It is then my privilege to open each and every one, fondle, admire, tear apart into little bits of squishyness, then repackage into random selections of scrappyness!!
If your interested in spinning some scrappy-crazy yarn, I highly recommend joining! All the details are listed on Ravelry.

Been meaning to share this...
So, do you remember when I joined the swap for scraps?
Somehow those little bundles of randomness sneaked to the front of the line. Wow, they were so much fun to spin!!
After showing James how pretty it all was - many, many, many times - I swear; that man is saint, I filled the satchel that hangs on my spinning wheel with bits'o'prettyness. Every time I reached into that satchel and pulled a bit of fiber out it was such a surprise!
I have since decided that my fiber stash needs an expiration date - if a bump of fiber is not spun by X date; it will be torn apart and tossed into a scrap bin to be spun into crazy yarn. Same goes with ITW fiber - anything that does not sell within the allotted time on Etsy will be torn down into samples or bits to be sold as scraps.
For those of you have never broken free from the daisy chain of fiber - go ahead, get crazy, tear it up, you won't regret it.
