I've been an avid knitter for years and I finally took up spinning a couple of months ago. I bought a pound of wool top to keep me going after I zipped through my initial four ounces at worsted weight in about a week on a starter drop spindle. I also decided that I was going to make fingering weight yarn on a mini Turkish spindle because that's the yarn weight I work with the most. What I should have anticipated is that fingering weight takes much less fiber per yard which makes the top last a lot longer. Oh, does it last longer.

Does anyone else here have any yarn-related things going on in their lives?

[ride_4ever]

No yarn-related stuff of my own, but I have seen some nice yarn fanart in my fandom. Is any of your yarn stuff fannish?

[mommy]

Not intentionally! I mostly make socks and blankets, and I sometimes discover after the fact that I've managed fannish color schemes or design elements.

[ride_4ever]

Fandom does have a way of sneaking in! *g*

I bought an electric spinner a couple of months ago and have been working my way through a bunch of hand-dyed merino. I don't have as much time for it as I'd like, but I'm enjoying it!

[adafrog]

No knitting for me, but it's interesting to hear others talk about it.

Hey, i am going to a riding clinic this weekend. Can anyone take my Friday and Saturday posting? I'm not sure I'll even be able to get online.

[mommy]

That sounds like you've made a fair amount of pretty yarn!

[mommy]

It's a hobby that I really enjoy.

I would have time to post in the late afternoons, Eastern time.

[kathmandu]

I'm not a mod; would I even be able to?

Re: I would have time to post in the late afternoons, Eastern time.

[adafrog]

No, has to be a mod. Thanks for the thought.

[teaotter]

I can take Saturday.

[adafrog]

Thanks.

[mecurtin]

I can take Friday if you can take Thursday -- that's the evening after Yom Kippur, I'll be eating dinner & pretty out of it.

[adafrog]

Sure. Will take Thursday instead.
