Channeling Laurie

Laurie, one of my spinning friends, is the most out-of-the-box person I know.  In fact, Laurie is so out-of-the-box creative that I don’t think she’s ever IN the box!

Laurie came to spinning last week, spread a bed sheet over her lap and the floor, and started picking the vegetable matter and other unspinnable stuff out of a fleece. She casually remarked how much nicer it was to work on a fleece INSIDE in the air conditioning instead of OUTSIDE on the skirting table.

That thought came back to me tonite after I had done all the homework I could stand.  I grabbed an extra sheet, my bag of “Grace” fleece, and plopped down in the living room.  Grace was young when she was sheared, and I was only working on her blanket. Three and one-half hours later, I had a beautiful light fluffy fleece, ready to be washed!

Thanks, Laurie!
