Almost every year, we spend a week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We rent an ocean side house with a pool and the kids all *neeeeeed* swim goggles. Every year, we buy goggles. And then no one can find them the following year. A couple years ago, Peter ordered two pair of goggles that each came in nifty little plastic tubes with screw on lids. The goggles disappeared, as usual, but I saved the tubes. If I'd put the goggles back in the tubes, they'd be gone too.
Did I know then that a .5 oz Golding Tsunami would be the perfect fit for a swim goggle tube? (I gave the other one to Em for her Greensleeves Ethan Jakob.) The screw on top even accommodates a clip for hooking on a belt loop or strap.
So this, being small and convenient, is my long term, go to, carry with project. What I was spinning at the Plain White T's concert, earlier this week at the library, pretty much anywhere I have a minute or two.
The fiber, merino/silk clouds, was a gift from my friend Leah. I don't have a project in mind or any deadline. I just spin, wind off when I need to and stuff another handful of fiber in the bottom of the tube on my way out the door. That's not crazy, it's good planning and keeps me sane.
But this. This is crazy.

You are nutters! For the insane small singles, not for the public spinning.
Hey, you can make a 6-ply cobweb yarn!
