First effort...

At what point am I a spinner? Can I call myself a spinner now?

Or should I wait until I've resolved those funky little twists in my yarn? Can you see them in there? This is some Cotswold pin drafted roving I purchased from a lady on my spinning list. She put together a wonderful box of roving for me to play with!

I'm not spinning as much as I'd like right now---I'm lucky to get in 15 minutes each day! But, I'm getting pretty close to finishing the two pairs of slippers for my in-laws for Christmas (one pair's ready to felt and the second pair is half-finished). Then I've got a couple other projects I may or may not get to in time for Christmas--I really hope so, 'cause they'd be really neat. I can't say more here 'cause the...interested parties...read here occasionally.

I'm listening to a lot of audiobooks---unfortunately, the 4th book in the Saga of Seven Suns isn't out on Audible yet. *sigh* I've finished "Darwin's Radio" by Greg Bear, and am currently listening to the sequel, "Darwin's Children". I really need to find more books I'm in the mood for right now!

I guess I could spin a little more. I've got 4oz of that Cotswold and what's spun up isn't even half of it, I'm guessing! Which is good, 'cause I need the practice to get those twists out of my yarn!

I've linked the images to their location on flickr (I think I did it right), so you should be able to click through and see the notes I've put on the photos---apparently I can't get that part to show up here.

Keep up the great work!

Your spinning looks great. I found your blog from a post of yours on ravelry. I had to drool over your beautiful alpaca wheel. I just ordered the Rose, and can't wait until it gets here even though I think yours looks way cooler. :) Keep spinning!


Spinning

Keep it up girl - you're doing great - the twists will go away soon. You may just need to let it take up faster or slow down the take up. Wonderful !!!!


You're getting better every

You're getting better every time you sit down to spin. Welcome to the wonderful world of the wheel!

Btw...you were so wise to work with Tracy. He custom built a spindle for me a few years ago. I took it to Okinawa with me. It's among my very favorites.

Spin on girl! I'm geeked for ya!
