Conversations in the Locker Room

This took place in the locker room at work as I was getting ready to leave:
Me:  Hi Liz, and yes, I have on two bras.  Don't ask.

Liz:  We have the weirdest conversations.

I will have photos of spinning stuff later this week!

The World Is Out of Balance

.. and hell has frozen over...

I joined a gym.  And I went.  And I hurt.

My First Handspun

I present to you - my first handspun yarn. I dunked it into a waterbath after this photo was taken. I am going to knit *something* with it. I'm not sure what, but I just have to knit it!

Also, my porch steps were very rotted, and here is a before:

Here is after:

A Funny for You

Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly to MY Home

I said I wanted a ladybug, and my husband ordered it and surprised me with it. I didn't know he ordered it until it showed up!

I have never did any spinning, and I used to think I never wanted to learn to spin. I don't know what happened... like I need another hobby!

Here it is being unpacked.



This is where my ladybug sits (sorry about the blurred picture)




I needed help with the tension string, and some really wonderful girl named Abbyknitz on Ravelry helped me out.

First little bit on the bobbin - uhm, I guess it's good I can even get it on the bobbin considering I've never touched a wheel in my life. My first goal was to figure out how to treadle and just use the wheel in general.
