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>........

exciting news about a wheel!

a very nice person contacted me about a much loved, but not very used wheel & they are willing to sell me

this is a copy of her email to me :)

The wheel comes with six bobbins,hook,instructions has two dowels on the side at the bottom to put two of your extra bobbins and I will put a little wool with it for you to spin. The wheel is ready to spin on. It is in great condition. What is nice about it you have a choice between using two feet or the left or the right. Whatever is comfortable for you. It is less than a year old. It will need no repairs. It is a single treadle Fiber Starter with a wider treadly to use two feet on it or one. It is a pvc wheel from Babe's Fiber Garden. I am asking 170.00 shipping is included in the price if you live in the us.

she is willing to wait until all my work is paid for & I can mail her the money! I can't wait to get the yarn fixed (for the sweater) and get paid for others that I've sold!

I am so excited about this! I never buy anything like this (this much money) on myself, and I am soooooooo happy!

praying this all goes smoothly, and that I get this, Lord willing. :)

way more than 15 mins of spinning today

wow......I can't believe I've made 'yarn' this thin! It's getting there!

can you tell the difference between the 'yarn' on the left that I was doing to the 'yarn' on the right I've spun today? I GOT IT!

ladies and gentlemen, I hereby present what I think is very close to being yarn!

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

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

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.
