100 Days of Spinning – Day 78
It took me a few minutes tonight to get settled down when I started my spinning. Long, busy day at work, and too much to do this evening at home. But nothing keeps me from doing this, my spinning practice, … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 77
Not as much time spinning today as some weekend days, but I made excellent progress on my current bobbin. As usual these days, I dropped right in to that meditative space that is so calming. I also got started today … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 76
I love weekends, because I get to spin earlier in the day and if I want to go for a longer time, I CAN without impacting my sleep or the stuff I need to do after work. Today I finished … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 75
I have to admit, I was a little worried about that last batch of yarn. After I wound it off on the niddy-noddy, it actually about 25 feet longer than the previous batch of 3-ply. For the same weight of … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 74
OK, here’s a mystery. When I am spinning separate bobbins to ply together, like I’ve done this week, each time I weigh out the wool for that bobbin so they are equal. Since I’m spinning pretty consistently now, it makes … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 73
Lovely but short spinning session today. It really calms my mind. I enjoy it so. I’m in a great position to finish up this bobbin tomorrow and ply it, just as I’d hoped. Until tomorrow.
100 Days of Spinning – Day 72
As expected, I only had enough energy and time for about 20 minutes of spinning tonight. But that’s enough, I made more progress on the current bobbin. I’ll most likely get about the same amount done tomorrow night, which is … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 71
I finished the second bobbin of the 3-ply in progress, and started the third. I am content not to push myself too hard, now that vacation is over and I’m back at work. That first 5-day week after the holidays … Continue reading
Real Food Sunday
Really, I should title this Real Food Weekend, because I did some of my cooking yesterday. I had some Daikon Radishes, so I used them to make Radishes in Orange Butter. The recipe is really for regular radishes, but it … Continue reading
100 Days of Spinning – Day 70
Today’s big insight: the elephant now knows how to spin. What’s that, you say? What elephant? Conjures up quite a mental image, doesn’t it? Granted, I am taking some liberties with the published science. But loosely speaking, we can consider … Continue reading
