You Spin Me Right Round
If you haven't read my mom's post yet, then I'll tell you myself. I learned to spin today! My mom was NOT going to let me learn, I don't need a new hobby, LOL! I actually wasn't going to let myself. But, the lady at our new LYS sold me on it (Oh yeah, Wendy, I'll tell you all about the store so you can check it out!). She was so nice and inviting and let me spin on her spindle, so I caved! Yay! My first spinning experience looks like Crap, but I'll get better! I really need a real spindle, not just one made out of CDs. I am trying to figure out how a spinning wheel works, so I can talk my dad into making me one, haha.Disneyland was really fun yesterday. We didn't have a whole lot of time, but it was still fun. Graduation practice today SUCKED, but oh well. I only have to wait until Thursday, right?

Ha-ha.. we brought another one to the dark side!! It looks good.. try drafting (separating and thinning..) out your fiber more before you spin- it will help dramatically. If I want to spin a thin single, I draft out my fiber thin.. especially with a spindle that's important because your hands are busy spinning and holding the spindle.
About the wheel.. you can buy one used on Ebay or from a guild cheaper than someone would make one I would assume.
Hey, Kaity...I have a nice drop spindle if you wanna borrow it! Lemme know!
I smell a "graduation present"....mmmmmm? Whadda think?
Oh Kaity....and did you sign up for her spinning class like your Grandma did? See you there!
