A spindle! And fiber! And how-to info!
I've started to toy with the idea of learning to spindle spin (there's no way I can afford a wheel, but a spindle looks like fun), and I may have mentioned this in front of Nicole last week. Last night she scurried out to her car in the middle of a sentence and came back in with a spindle that she had bought but decided that she did not like. Well who am I to turn down new toys. Especially when they're free! I tried to read the instructions so that I could get started, but I'm having an ADD day and so it'll have to wait until the next time I'm working a late shift and feel a little calmer. But in the meantime it is tons of fun to look at, and if anyone has any resource suggestions for a new knitter please let me know.

Wow! What an awesome gift! I know nothing about spinning, other than it's starting to call to me a little louder all the time. Maybe I'll live vicariously through you for a bit. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I've always wanted to try spinning but since my knitting queue will never run out of things that I want to make, I've never jumped in. Can't wait to see how you do.
ReplyDeleteWow, what I nice gift. I wish you the best of luck learning to spin. There are a bunch of spinning videos at youtube that you can checkout, I recommend Abby Franquemont's channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/afranquemont. Oh, don't forget to join the spindlers group on ravelry it has a lot of good information of spindle spinning, too.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check those out. Thanks for the recommendations!
DeleteWhat a nice gift :-) Good luck with that :-)
