Starting the pack

With under two months to go to our departure from the US we have been slowly boxing things up and splitting up what has to go to storage vs what will be going to NZ (and the third option of: we're not sure why we had it in the first place - so give it away!).

This morning was devoted to packing up the Macomber and making some sense of the 'fiber cupboard' in the spare room.  4 hours later and it's all under control.
The Macomber all ready to be transported (next weekend)
While sorting through boxes and bags I found the first ever skein of wool I spun.  It was Merino with angora and was only a few days into my spinning (self) education and after making numerous starts and stops.  I did go on (persevere) to produce some 3 ply what was half-way decent and made that into table runners and a couple of scarves.
One of these won a blue ribbon, then other didn't :-)
So with the loom disassembled and ready to go, all the bits and pieces boxed up and listed - time to move onto the next challenge (the hiking gear), but not until after a great lunch of homemade pizza.
Packed and ready to go
Lunch: Anne's pizza (with a glass of red wine).
