Drop Spindle Breakthrough

Posted in Knitting, Spinning, Dyeing, tagged , , , , on January 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been using a drop spindle for about six months now with varying degrees of success. What I usually get is thick and thin yarn with no way to control the width of what I’m making. Until now.

I get to go to Florida! In February! Can you tell how excited I am? I found an awesomely cheap flight from Plattsburgh, NY (2 hours from here) to Clearwater and my sweet and wonderful friend, Julie, said we could stay with her! It’s just me and the kids because Peter has to work [...]

Nadia started pulling up to her knees right after we got home from our trip to Minnesota. As of today, she now pulls up to her feet.
