Weekend spinning..

[artemis42]

Well, since I spent more time snuggled on the couch showing Henri old episodes of the Simpsons Halloween specials I'd taped off TV a million years ago than behind the wheel today, I only have a half-full bobbin of spun wool to show, but yesterday was downright prolific.



4 balls of single ply wool, 2 in a mottled green and 2 in a rainbow pattern I hope will knit up nicely. I'm still trying to decide if I should ply one of them or not. We shall see how adventurous I'm feeling tomorrow.. or today, since it's 2am. *grin*

Later.

I am so disgustingly impressed with you. I can't get past novelty spinning, in essence if not in purpose. I partially blame my wheel (don't get a cheap wheel just to get one, and go to a store or a show that will let you sample a bunch of wheels to see which one you like. I'm getting to be seriously unimpressed with Ashford.)

You're awesome.

Awwwww.... Thank you! I'm likewise incredibly impressed with the gorgeous knit items you display.. all I can knit right now are rectangles and tubes! As well as NaNo, I'll be learning to weave come November, which I'm looking forward to. It will be really cool to make cloth with thread I've spun.

I'm completely in love with my wheel.. I bought the antique one that's sitting in my livingroom this afternoon. I'll probably post about it later, we're on our way out to a meeting at Stanford in a few minutes.

I recommmend getting a drop spindle, if you don't already have one, and getting proficient with that before deciding on a wheel.. I'm still spinning my silk and soy silk on drop spindles, as I like the greater attention I can pay to consistency with the spindle at the moment.

*hugs to you*
