Turns out I can turn out a washcloth a day even while blowing my nose every three seconds. But I can’t do anything involving counting or decreases, so no blanket work for now. I did get my invite to Ravelry finally and am going to work on that. Plus I’m feeling the scrapbooking vibe. We’ll see what I come up with.

Are you sick of my hand spinning blah, blah, blah yet? The thing is I haven’t really been doing much else, I’ve been working during the day and then it’s just so relaxing to just spin in the evening. I am going to be out this weekend doing fun girlie stuff so hopefully I’ll bring you something a little more interesting soon 🙂 Meanwhile…Put into cakes like this you can see how the Navajo plied one self stripes. I think I am going to do hats with both of these so I can really see the difference in knitting them…

I have a bunch of emails to answer, so if some are yours sorry! One of the emails I got was a request to go over how you spin yarn. Sure! Now just remember I’m no expert, I’ve taken a few lessons, but I still feel like I only know the basics. So basically you need a fiber and something to spin it with. I use a wheel, but there are also drop spindles, cheaper, but they look like it might take a herculean amount of hand eye coordination to figure out. I think that might be a personal problem…
