Spun the Easy Knits Polwarth/De-Haired Camel in Exterminate from Splashed Out in Episode 3, I added it to my entry in the Orange KAL in the hopes that the Orange levels would be boosted.  Blogged about it here.

Spinning Mallard fibre from Hilltop Cloud, talked about in Episode 3.  It's a lot less "grippy" than the fibre I've spun so far, but it's going faster too.  I blogged about it here.

Toolbox

iSpinToolkit app, recommended by Rachel of Reecie's Pieces Podcast.  I also recommend the Yarn Raising Podcast with Melia, who talks mainly about spinning and is a great source of information and inspiration.

Crafting Library

Wanted to talk about the possibility of doing a KAL/CAL that involves using patterns from the library.  Let me know in this thread what you think.
