Today would have been the start of the Tour de France bike race if we were not in a pandemic. It's also the start of Tour de Fleece, which runs concurrently with the bike race. I look forward to this even every summer. Even though the race is cancelled, the fiber event is still happening on Ravelry.
I signed up for the Corner of Knit and Tea team and will be spinning after supper tonight. I'm hoping to spin at least a little every day of the event.
There's 8 ounces each of Spunky Eclectic, Loop, Frabjous Fibers, two 4 ounce bags of an alpaca blend, and 10 ounces of Corgi Hill Farm, sitting in my bin waiting to be started this year. If I finished those, I will have my husband pick something from a bin for me.
If you are a spinner, come join us and have fun spinning together in spirit if not in person.

One Day and Step at a Time
It's just another day in my routine around here. There's a bit of cleaning, cooking, exercise routine, and tending to the feline furballs. My old Tiger had dental surgery and is recovering from the bad infection he had. He doesn't like his bowl and dish right now. Sometimes he will eat after he gets a taste but, mostly we have to encourage him to eat by spoon feeding him most times. There's also syringe / dropper usage for extra water.
I'm still staying home with my husband doing the store runs. I did ride to the vet on those visits and had an appointment with my diabetes doctor. My supper insulin got decreased a bit because I lost some weight, my blood sugar testing numbers were lower, and my A1C test was down a whole point. Yay!
My "Across the Pond Shawl" was finished yesterday. It needs blocking and a picture now. I picked up the "Fonse` Shawlette" and am doing the extra repeats as explained in the pattern to make it a bit bigger. I have two skeins of the purple gradient yarn and want to use as much as possible. I'm slowly stitching on the "Curious Cats" and "Lighthouse" kits still. Spinning wheels are empty, but ready for new projects.
Time to make supper. It's just a tossed salad with chicken breast left over from last night's meal. There's some fruit for dessert later.
