100 Days of Spinning – Day 87

Posted on January 21, 2015 by silvergrrl

Posted on January 20, 2015 by silvergrrl

New experience tonight – spinning with bandaids on my fingers. Fortunately, the wounds are on my right hand, which holds the fiber source. Not the left hand, which controls the pinch and twist process. However, the little sticky edges of … Continue reading →

Short session today. We are going to the Little Yellow Music House today, and I made risotto, so that’s why I just had a little spinning time. But I’m happy, because I figured out how to avoid a problem where … Continue reading →

Ok. I plied the 3-ply Falklands – this plus the previous skeins gives me a total of just over 300 yards, which is enough to complete the Callicarpa scarf. I have about 34 grams of wool left unspun, so I’ve … Continue reading →

Tonight was discipline, pure and simple, to sit down at my wheel and spin. Long, long, long crazy day at work, two reformer clients after, and after 7:30 by the time I got home. So I can get ready to … Continue reading →
