The Tour de Fleece

Tomorrow, 6-30-12 marks the beginning of the Tour de France, which I think is awesome and an incredible athletic event. However, there is a smaller version of the Tour de France which is more fibery in it's intention. The Tour de Fleece, which is described in the Yarn Harlot's Blog and in several posts this being one from 2010. Someone at my local shop has been infected with the spinning bug, I will not name her, she knows who she is... is going to be doing the Tour de Fleece. In fact, she is so infatuated with spinning, I will be letting her try my Lendrum double treddle. I think we've gotten another one. Let's get back on track.... This whole thing has gotten me thinking, I've been spinning since around 2008 and I have not done a Tour de Fleece, so I think this year I will be doing it. My goal however is unknown, officially maybe a goal of spinning everyday, and an unnofical goal of 2 lbs of fiber spun at the end of it, or a skein every 2-3 days, I'm unsure. Let the spinning begin...
