Spinning for the Show

This is the colourway I have been spinning up for the show.  It is dyed by Treetops Colours out of Western Australia and the fibre is so soft and fine.  I had purchsed the wool to used for felting, but with the show looming, I grabbed it and started spinning.  Although this stuff doesn't need it, I have been predrafing this fibre in an attempt to get a really even yarn.

Last night we played our third game of touch footy for the season.  I made a try... my first try for two seasons.   This is my third season of touch footy, and it is the first team sport I've ever competed in, so I suppose I'm not programmed to read play and anticipate where I should go to maximise my chances of getting the ball at the right moment.  I sort of see myself as being good at wing defence, I understand what I have to do and I do it well.  I love it when the other team thinks they can target me out on the edge, but they can't get by me (most times) :-)
