Spin issues!

12 08 2008

Well I am not to sure what i am doing wrong… But when i am using the drop spindle it seems as though some fibre is spinning into yarn where other bits in the strands seem like they are not spun at all.  This is very frustrating.

On the knitting front – (which has been very lax) I picked up my sisters sweater and knit a few rounds of it!  I don’t know if i will ever finish it some times.

I will post progress pictures and pictures of my over spun yet not spun strands…





Its been awhile!

With school ending and new jobs starting the past few months have been a bit crazy here! I had ordered a drop spindle from the Black Lamb, in Port Hope Ontario. I choose the Ashford Student spindle just since I have never spun. Well I got it the other day and I was using it last night while I was waiting for the hamburgers on the BBQ.

Here is my progress shots… Any tips are openly welcome!
