Thursdays are for Spinning

Tangerine singles on Bobbin

My spinning group met tonite. Boy it was fun! I wish we had a quieter place to meet; but we still manage to talk and chat and goof around with fiber. There were plenty of on-lookers tonite, from small kids to adults who are fascinated with how the spinning wheel works. We managed to convince one girl she should have a drop spindle, and her dad (who is a woodworker) sounded very wiling to help her make one.

Yay for enablement at an early age.

One dangerous thing happened, Shiori started asking me questions about how to do a sheep to shawl contest. Yikes!!

Here’s some action shots of the fun (click thumbnails to see full size photos on flickr):

** PS: For those of you who like the bigger photos, I’ll occasionally post one. The nice thing about flickr is you can click on the photo and see as large of a version you want on that site!
