My sweet Boar made a niddy-noddy! I am celebrating having finished my first two hand spun bobbins and a third one on the wheel! I have to learn how to put the yarn from the bobbins onto the niddy noddy, there is a technique and I need to read up.

I am still practicing on this brown fiber — I bought it so long ago, I can’t remember what it is!! …. Coriedale? I also bought some hand dyed roving and am anxious to get through with the practice stuff.

Patience!

Went to a great meeting of LI Knits last night. It was pulled together by none other than Melissa! Lots of fun and interesting women and Ricki, the Spinning Guild’s president was there too. So the talk turned to spinning and Ricki mentioned that she counts the number of treadles per draw. Since I don’t know what I’m doing and am open to any suggestion, I gave that a try today and believe it has helped. We shall see.

In the meantime — the poncho sits in my bag – nearly done. And Banff is in need of seaming and a neck.

so close and yet so far.
