I had a wonderful time at the spinners and weavers guild today! And you wanna knot the best part???? I'm borrowing a wheel!!! I have a spinning wheel in my home right now can you believe that? The ladies even provided me with 'practice' roving. Between my poor attempts at spinning, I've been happy-dancing on cloud nine most the night, I'm so excited that I've actually used a spinning wheel!

One of the ladies who was there had been spinning for 20 years, she was the one that did the most instructing and was so nice and patient with me :-D .

After the lesson she talked to the other ladies about the possibilities of loaning out the wheel! I couldn't believe it at first, I don't think I really believed it until I got home and saw it in my own room! WOW!! I've got a spinning wheel in my room...

My first attempts at spinning haven't been the most impressive, the yarn is a little over twisted most the time, and it likes to twist up on itself. It's also pretty 'thick & thin' (the understatement of the day... *cough*)... oh well... maybe I can at least make a potholder or something out of it LOL! I'm a little embarrassed to show it, it really is pretty bad and doesn't even show all in the picture, but this being a blog to take down my adventures in all things fibery I feel obligated to post at least a little bitty photo...
