Spinner's End

Well, I gave it another try.

Yesterday I went to a Spinning Class at Wool Tyme so I could try spinning my own yarn once more.

I tried it about a year ago after ordering a Learn to Spin kit from online. The DVD instructions were relatively easy and really it could have gone much worse. I figured, going to a class would help me figure what I might be doing wrong and help me perfect techniques and such.

So yeah, it did. My yarn was fine but I struggled still. It felt like the 3 hours was well spent and I truly enjoyed the time but had very little yarn to show for the near constant time spent spinning. Its a nice idea but not for me.

I am trying to find out about spinning wheel classes though. One or two of the ladies at the class mentioned it and I thought I'd be able to search it online but can't so far. I will be checking into it. I have access to a wheel here so I'd love to use it! Even if its now and then.

I would love to spin but I'm too impatient for it so far. I want to knit right away, I don't want to spend hours and hours spinning, then possibly plying and washing and drying the yarn before I can do something with it... I don't have time!

Ah well. Like I said, I enjoyed it. Perhaps I should check out the knit circles in the area.

We shall see. I should focus on the move... yep, moving again. February again too!!
