Something new & exciting~ spinning on a spindle!

Like I needed another money siphoning hobby! But I just knew that I would love to spin. Jayme brought her spinning wheel & a bunch of drop spindles to the Java Station on Monday night. Holy crap!! I am in love, I bought & received (thank you for the fast shipping & service Annie May) a spindle & 1.5 lbs of roving fibers in the most amazing colors. So last night I used the green multi and did a few yards. I am just so happy to be able to make my own yarns! I am really going to experiment & see how many weights I can get using my 2 oz. spindle. So for Christmas I know what I want!!

Other than that I am just working on the colinette absolutely fabulous throw. Love it! At first I hated it & put it away after 6 rows. I pulled it out feeling guilty that I paid so much for it & not worked on it at all. Now I am about a quarter of the way done with it after just a few hours work. So I have new found delight in colinette. Not that we all don’t already know how fabulous colinette is!

For shame! I still have not put the pieces of the labrador sweater together. I will get it done today or tonight, if I make that statement then I will really feel like an ass for not doing it!

We are going to my sister in laws for dinner tonight to get a good visit in before school starts next week. WOOHOO!! School starts in 6 days! My kids need it, but I need it more! You mean my house will be quiet? The only time it is quiet now is when there is a crime happening. Like, cutting of things that shouldn’t be cut, or coloring on things that shouldn’t be colored on, or eating of things that aren’t to be eaten. Yup that about covers it. Speaking of too quiet, I should go!
