1 of 2 bobbins, done!
April 20th, 2007 at 8:22 am (spinning)
I went to a new spinning group last night, and it was a total blast! I finished up the first bobbin of my BFL in colorway Hyacinth:
4 ounces of roving on the bobbin, and 4 more to spin. I’m planning on a two ply, my only worry that the colors will muddy up a bit.
Since I’ll be traveling with my wheel twice a month, and another spinner had these so I could see how they work, I think I’ll have to get a set of wheels to go on the bottom: http://www.schachtspindle.com/products/spinning/sw_accessories.htm . I still think the price is a bit much for what you’re really getting, I wonder if I can find them on sale anywhere.
I’ve also got a hankerin’ to knit this: http://www.fiddlesticksknitting.com/Grace_Large.html
I’d even like to do it in the yarn it calls for; but it’s a bit out of my budget these days. *sigh*. Maybe in 2 weeks I’ll look and see what’s in the stash that might work once we’re moved. (Countdown: 11 days)
