So tonight was my last spinning class. You know, at least for the moment. I...oh. I love it. I love it so. And I think I'm going to take both Lorna's advice and my instructor's and buy a Bug. Probably not for a couple of weeks, and truth be told, I really liked the Ashford Joy better, but it apparently only likes to spin really thin yarn. And one of the things I ended up with tonight was this sort of Manos-y thick and thin (thickish and thinish, not like, you know Collinette Point Five or whatever) that I really enjoyed spinning, and I really liked the finished product. So...I think the versatility of the Bug is going to be where it's at. Even if I don't like the treadle quite as much.
Okay, back to English.
Today was mostly long. I woke up this morning all queasy, but went to the gym anyway. And then my trainer flaked on me and no-showed. Work was...you know....crazy, and it was just a really exhausting day. Not entirely sure why, but, nonetheless. And it didn't help that I didn't sleep super well last night. So..maybe I should shut up and go to bed....

So now, you can actually, like, go out and pick cotton and make it into something entirely yourself? I'm impressed.
Well Kate and Danielle-----while picking cotton----run over to the sheep, sheer them guys and spin their wool too.
We have both around here but no spinners or weavers . Good thing as I might have to add another vice to my bag of tricks:
stitching, quilting, knitting
and spinning????
Enjoy enjoy Carol
