Do you see that metal clamping thing at the base of the mother of all? (I giggle every-time I say that word) It appears that I was being much too gentle with my new wheel. That clamp is the tension adjuster. When I unscrewed [...]

I spent yesterday sitting and spinning in the great outdoors. It was the Smithtown Historical Society’s Heritage Festival and our spinning guild was asked to demonstrate. What a fun day and what a great festival! They had tractor pulls - all of these antique John Deere tractors pulling, or trying to, massive [...]

I suppose I have been away from the blog for too long - Typepad asked for my password! No real reason for the lack of blogging - life and lack of bloggy energy got in the way.
