Eeek! Long time no post. Oops. When I finish making something I post it to Ravelry, LJ and appropriate communities and groups and then I'm too sick of posting to put it here as well.
What have I been up to? Not much really in terms of knitting FOs. Why?
I've taken up spinning again. I never really got the hang of using a drop spindle before. I thought I might just be one of those folks that does better on a wheel, even though it's more complicated in some ways.
A lady on Craigslist responded to my ad about wanting to find spinning classes or a wheel that I could rent or borrow. She said she had one for sale for $60. It was missing a part but we went and bought it and found out the part was just the distaff and fairly non-essential. We bought some candle wicking to rig up a drive band and I've been spinning ever since.
It's incredibly addictive! For now I'll just leave you with one knitting FO and some pics of all the yarns I've been spinning up. :)
Another Perdita bracelet.
Isn't she cute?
