Also try to maintain a 'beginner's mind' which is non judgemental. Just get your spinning muscles back and then worry about evenness and thickness.Susan (and SmokeyBlue in spirit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15600529191882073624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259865948511087518.post-70271036962862779472010-07-22T06:36:41.219-04:002010-07-22T06:36:41.219-04:00Last summer I determined I would get some spinning...Last summer I determined I would get some spinning done. I have 2 wheels just sitting there. Here we are in July 2010 and I haven't done a thing. In fact I haven't spun in years I am not sure I even remember how to ply. Feeling a little intimidated before I even start. reading yoour blog and getting my nerve up to tackle it again. Maybe Saturday....hmmmmmSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200940053036903121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259865948511087518.post-469512788976119382010-07-21T02:11:17.220-04:002010-07-21T02:11:17.220-04:00Lovely yummy cashmere!

I still overspin my yarn! <br /><br />So umm, Jim doesn't have a lovely spindle for a beginner that needs a home does he?....? I kind of need one for my trip that starts in a week, since I realized Rosie the wheel might have to stay home..Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566356349853975058noreply@blogger.com
