EUREKA !

By jove - i think I've got it ! When I bought the first wheel I also was gifted with some fibers that she no longer wanted. I'm using those as my test fibers. On the left is the original roving, on the right is what I turned it into ! WOW - I'm impressed !

First Results

My first attempts at spinning on my new Sonata - still don't have the hang of it !

New Obsession

My parents always get on my case about using my Christmas money to pay bills instead of on myself. This time I used it to take a spinning class. NO - not an exercise spinning class - a yarn spinning class using a wheel. !
I enjoyed it so much I had to get a wheel of my own. I bought a used Louet wheel and we just didn't bond very well. I took it in to get it tuned up and ended up coming home with a BRAND_NEW Sonata - the wheel I lusted after !
Being Polish, I couldn't help but choose a wheel made in Poland. She does not have a name yet but she and I have definitely bonded !
Here's a picture of my girl !

It's about time

Ok - I've been REALLY bad about keeping my blog up. I never seem to have any time for it anymore. I've been knitting like a fiend but not posting any of my progress. I still have to felt the girls bags I made them for Christmas and give them to them. I also have to finish Josh's socks and make my darling Smoof his socks from the Thoroughbred yarn I bought him months ago. Bless that man for putting up with me !
