I Spun!

CraftyBean wanted to spread her joy of spinning and decided to teach me how to spin. She was the most patent person EVER! I made so many mistakes, kept feeding too soon, and yarns kept snapping. She kept on trying to find different ways to describe how to sipn to me so I could understand the mechanics of spinning. See the stuff on the far left? Nice and fine. She did those. See the stuffs comming in on th eright? Starting to get a bit thick. I did those.

Then the yarn started to get thicker...and thicker...

The yarn as a skain after it was washed and dried.

The yarn in a ball.

Because it's so pretty I had to take another picture from a different angle ^_^

This is the mess I left behind. See all those bits that had snapped off. Yes, those are my hot pink polka dot slippers. They were from the dollar store if any of you are wondering.I can spin! ........uneven bulky yarn. ^_^ Well, it was my first try.

I've been going to a silversmithing class since Feb. and this is what I've been working on. It's still not finished. Still needs a lot of polishing and the band to be fitted more to my wrist.

My friend H and B are in N.Y.C. right now. I dropped them off and the airport Thursday morning. That is also the day the Yarn Harlot will be at F.I.T. with a book signing and gathering. Hope they got some good pics for me ^_^
