Gonna get me some spinning education

Sittin' pretty

Weee finally some spinning! This is the first handspun I'm really excited to knit with. (Probably doesn't hurt that it's in my fav. greens) I managed to eyeball it and end up with two bobbins to ply that were only 1 gram off from each other. It's those little things that make me so easily pleased. After looking enviously at the awesome handspun out there it's exciting to start getting closer to producing something I want.

Yarn School Speaking of excited- I got in on a late opening and now I'm going to Yarn School at the end of the month! I had been yearning to go and was so disappointed when they announced it was full. Now I may need to go check I'll still be able to fit clothing in the suitcase after the wheel, spindle, fiber, and knitting goodies...

Wow.. your yarn looks awesome!

Very nice, Jen. I'm excited for you, going to the spin school. I am so interested in spinning but the last thing I need is another project/hobby at the moment. I'll get to it eventually though!

That is a very pretty color! Nicely done!

Ooh, I am jealous! You are gonna have some super fun with that learnin'.

And your green skein (tee hee - fun to say) up there is great already. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Wow!! that is so awesome! Looks totally fun and interesting! Have a great time!

Gorgeous handspun! Yay!

Envy! Envy!!!!

Was good to see you Tuesday, great program! :)

Oh, I envy you so! Are you going to pick the 4 oz of hand-dyed fiber or the pound? (See? I was so jealous I clicked the link, and read all about it.)
