Tour de Fleece

I know that I'm a little late starting this, but I just couldn't resist.  And just maybe it will get me to spinning some each day! 

Tour de Fleece 2008 has very simple rules (borrowed from Katherine's page):

Concept:  You will set yourself a personal spinning challenge.  You will begin spinning on the first stage of the Tour (July 5th), and finish on or before the last stage (July 27th).  You, of course, may spin on those days designated rest days for the riders.

Rules:

1.  The idea is to set yourself a challenge.  It doesn't matter what the challenge is -- it could be spinning fine for the first time, or producing an artsy fartsy yarn as an exercise, it could be spinning enough for a specific project.  If you've always wanted to spin a little every day (say, a spinning meditation practice), but never seem to find time for it, perhaps that could be the challenge -- spinning every morning of the tour.  What matters is you set out the challenge, and meet it during the specified time.

2.  There will be no spinning before the start of the first stage.

3.  You must finish spinning before the last stage ends.

4.  You may sample and do other research as needed beforehand if it helps you decide on your challenge, or will help provide you the tools and information you need to meet the challenge.

 

So, what am I gonna do?  It will be something from my stash, and I've got tons of that!  And I think I'll use one of my beautiful, but dusty, drop spindles.  I'll post more tomorrow.
