actual spinning content + a sign that we've survived
March 19, 2012
I'm falling more and more in love with my Briar Rose roving every day.
I love it so much that I have another whole bobbin full.
Yes, it's totally wobbly and uneven. I care not. I think it will all work out when I ply. Or, you know, not. But either way, I'm starting to really enjoy the process so I'm good.
I have discovered that McGregor is even sillier than previously imagined. My borrowed spinning wheel (thanks Ang!) is a Louet S10 DT . There is a circular cut out in the main wheel, which, when the light is right, flashes a spot of sun onto the floor in a regular pattern. The Greg cannot resist trying to kill the evil, evil brightness.
Silly kitty.
Speaking of, it appears we have once again survived the time of bitter cold and constant dark. I know this because of these:
I also have some daffodils *thisclose* to blooming. Given that I know longer remember what sort I planted, it will be a complete surprise what pops out.
YAY!!! That is some kinda awesome right there (both roving/yarn and crocis? crocuses?)
I am wishing there was a way for you to video him and the evil flashing SPOT!
I am really excited that you are loving spinning as much as you are.

Lots of happy times in your post today. Thanks for that (especially on a Monday)!

I guess that's the advantage of Northeasteren winters--even when they're mild, we're all surprised that it actually does end.
In Brooklyn, we've had crocuses peeking out for a few weeks. Every time I see them, I'm like, "Dudes, not yet. It's totally going to be freezing tomorrow."
