This will be the last spin I will ever do in St Louis, Missouri. It is corriedale, and from two braids (so 8oz total) that I bought off a dyer on Fiber Market Place. I will probably keep it as a single and hopefully use it for both warp and weft on my rigid heddle loom, after we move to New Jersey and get settled. If it wasn't for St Louis (and by extension the more relaxed nature of the Midwest), I don't think I would have nearly learned or picked up as much, or as fast, as I did in the fiber arts world. It is yet another thing that I will miss dearly after yet I leave here, but sometning I'll take with me for the rest of my life.
We have less than a week left in St Louis, and next week at this time we should be in Indianapolis. We are shipping our items in PODs, and will be driving the cars (and kids) together with my Dad, who has been staying with us the last month to help with the move. I am very nervous about the move and settling into NJ, but I know that I am in the best of company for doing so.
St Louis, I will miss you and its people.
