Equal Opportunity Spinner
Hallo! Vielen danke für dieses e-mails. I wish I could read them all and catch up with the blogs but we only have so much time before doing other things... It seems everyone wants a piece of us! Germany has been incredible, and tomorrow (probably by the time you read this) we'll be on our way to Spain. I've finished my first sock, about to start on the second. Fiddling with 5 weisswurst skewers (BF's lovely term) seems a little difficult, but I can see how people can get obsessed with knitting them. That's all for the knitting content; until next week, tchuss!
I took out the bottom whorl spindle last night and did some spinning. I'm glad I picked the bottom whorl as a beginning spindle because it's slower than the top and easier to park-and-draft with. That said, I do like my Kundert because it's faster--way faster--and I can load it up with more yarn than the bottom whorl (attributed to the fact that the Kundert's whorl is wider).
hola! sounds like an amazing trip... enjoy spain!
becks
I finished my first sock too! I'm on my second. Can't wait to compare notes!
Trip sounds wonderful....
Keep on having a great time! We miss you!
that looks wonderful! i love the colors. i want to learn how to spin on a drop spindle. don't fret too much about writing everyone back, just realx:)
Hope you are having a blast. Enjoy being young and being able to do such things. I am, well, let's just say over 35, and can't imagine such a trip. You go girl.
When you get back, I want to write you about a drop spindle. I ordered one, the Bellwhether. It is two Cd's stuck together with a rubber gasket, a 12 inch wood dowel sticks in it. I don't mind ordering something a little more substantial to make the learning curve easier. Just don't know what to get.
But anyway, hope you are taking pics of the great scenery? And maybe will share some when you get back.
