I spin me right round...

Whee! I got to go the the Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby, OR. I had wanted to take a class of Fair Isle knitting and one on drop spinning, but, through chance, ended up not doing either. I did end up getting a start up spinning kit with a drop spindle and some free lessons from the local guild! They also provided me with a bunch of resources too! I'm a quick learner when it comes to hand crafts, so I am thinking that I might have ended up bored out of my mind partway into 3 hour class. :) I also then got to use the class money (less than actually) to get some lovely wool to learn on, and another, gorgeous spindle. I'm looking forward to playing!

Here is the new spindle. It is lovely.



Here is the "starter" kit. :) Simple, but lovely.


This wool caught my eye and I just had to grab it. There is a lot of it, so it may end up making a bunch of things. :)


This one I wanted for Alisha. The pictures don't do it any justice, it is so rich and beautiful. The first shows some of the depth of the other colors, and the second shows how dark it really is.




I'll be sure to post pictures of the yarn I make, unless it is really really awful, then maybe I'll wait a bit. :)

Ok, cute cute cute picture of the Buzzy Bee was posted. I do have permission from Mama to post it here. :)



A bit small, but you can see his gorgeous face all wrapped up in the bee goodness I created for him. :)
