I can’t believe it’s almost time for the 2009 Tour de Fleece already. For those of you that haven’t been touched by that sort of crazy, the Tour de Fleece runs parallel to the Tour de France bicycle race; spinners set spinning challenges for themselves and try to meet them during the course of the race.
I haven’t a clue what I should set for a goal – maybe spin enough yarn for a pair of socks? Or – seeing as I failed so miserably last year – maybe I should avoid setting a specific production goal, and instead vow to spin every day and see how much yarn I come out with in the end. I still have until July 4th to make a decision, and will probably wait until the panic strikes at midnight on July 3rd and make some insane commitment at the last second, thereby setting myself up for another embarrassing performance.
Whatever I spin, I think it ought to be RED… you know, just in case I end up being the lanterne rouge.
I’ve put a sale sign up in the store – 15% off all spinning fibres until the end of the Tour. I’m also hoping to receive a new shipment of drop spindles from Dave in the next week or so… maybe there will be a fiddleback maple one in there for me (oh please oh please oh please…)
