so a while ago, i finally cashed in a savings bond i'd received as an infant. (the keypunch holes amused me to no end)

with the funds i went and splurged on a drum carder, and last night i carded me up some soysilk, angora, purple silk, grey superwash merino, and a little bit of firestar. my original plan had been to match it up with the 2 ply laceweight angora/silk/little bit of wool that i had spun from a 1 oz batt i picked up at MDSW in '06. but alas, this stuff seems to want to be a bit thicker. and i'm not really feeling the soysilk. oh well. it's coming out a nice muted pastel purple, and very heathered, since i knocked it out before running out the door to go to my thursday night fiber fun. i finished up the brown stuff i started at the MDSW (spinning by campfire is fun, but nearly impossible to see what you're doing.) now i just need to figure out what to do with it. i am thinking about plying it with some other similar color wool since i don't have much.
