15 mins of spinning 12-31-08

yep. I am still too thick...I know.....but it's getting there....hopefully. I just don't have the right combination for predrafting & spinning..YET>........

and I shall call him Squishy

this is my baby! My very first handspun from a drop spindle! When I first started it, I was spinning a little thick, but I got better as I went on. I'm kinda proud of it in the way your proud of your first drawing on your first day of school kind of proud. :)

it is called Squishy. That is all.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

one of my new dear friends, Elle, and I are having a get together at her home tomorrow! I'm so happy I get to get together with her again (we had a sit and knit/drop spindle at Jacks Restaurant a while back).....

I am so exicted to go & get a lesson in how to use my drop spindle tomorrow! I think I've 'just almost' got it, but it's always nice to have another set of eyes to see what you are doing, KWIM?

I contacted Elle at Ravelry & asked her for the lesson, and she so nicely agreed :) She's a swell gal! If you have the chance, swing by her blog...she's a hoot!

I am so very blessed that I live in this day and time that eventhough I don't have a way to go all the time (we have only one vehicle), I do have this way to communicate with others, and I've been blessed to have these friends via the internet. The internet can be used for good, see?

I will update this little blog (I don't know that anyone but me reads it, but anyway) whenever I get back tomorrow.....I'm so excited, and thanks again Elle, for being such a swell egg!

15 mins of spinning 12-24-08

here is my attempt at spinning with my drop spindle for today. I am limiting myself to 15 mins everytime I practice......

spinning...someday I am

I'm almost ashamed to post these pics, but I am....

this is the fiber I'm starting out with







and this is my horrid attempt at my drop spindle




I am posting these to show that eventhough I am not a natural at this....I'm STILL trying.......

someday I will be a spinner. someday.
