Day 9: not handling the hills!

As the Tour de France hit the hills, I also found myself a little fatigued - my lower back and bottom are a bit sore; my hands and elbows are protesting just a little bit. Thank goodness today is an official rest day!

As you see, there's not much more on my wheel than there was yesterday - this is the same bobbin. I'm inching towards 50gr; at that point I'll be starting another bobbin, just to keep track. I think this single is for navajo plying to keep a few solid areas of that rich colour. I'm planning to make the Stephen West Akimbo with this one.

Not really resting today though, despite the lack of spinning planned; I have a lot of wool to dye, so now the sun is shining I'm heading off out to get on with it! 

As today is a rest day, I'll see you back here on Wednesday with my next update.
