Well I got a call today. A call telling me that support spindle i ordered is on backorder for a couple weeks. Im so excited to get it and try my first spun yarn and now I'm side tracked. Probably because other people saw the same knit2gether podcast showing how to use one that i did. Very imformative episode and it gave me the confidence to invest some $$ in a spindle more than just ten bucks. I had no idea before that when you're learning to spin on a spindle that chances are you are gonna be forced to stand the whole time. Yikes! After almost 9 years in retail I sure as heck wont be standing for fun for more than an hour unless essential. so thats right. The support spindle I saw on there requires no standing! It has bearings in it to make it spin in this stand. It beyond a support bowl.
Speaking of bowls... I ordered one today from an Etsy seller. I'ts this beautiful off white palest green color. With a little bird perched on the rim. I found the seller while participating in one of the virtual labs. This one was on shop critiques. Here is cedarpockets page link http://www.etsy.com/people/cedarpocket
Hi again,
ReplyDeleteI bounced over from your Ravelry page.
Don't worry, you don't really have to stand up the whole time you drop spindle. (I just typed "drip" spindle ;) )
I'm happy to show you the sittin' down way to spin on a drop spindle next time you are in the San Luis Obispo area.
I'm ValkyrieLHWB on Ravelry, so let me know when you are going to be around & we'll get together.
See you soon,
B
