Preparing stuff to take with me to the #spinning group thing tomorrow. Blended alpaca and brown wool on the drum carder. Now making little rolls on the hand carders. These rolls will be gone in half an hour I’m afraid haha

Spinning Frigg Vintage Fairytale Pin: A beautiful vintage brass pin of a woman with her distaff and spinning wheel. Pin measures just over 1 3/4" (4.5cm) wide. 

Frigg is the Norse Goddess of spinning-- it is said that she spun the clouds and you can see her spinning wheel in the sky as the constellation known as Orion's Belt.

There’s a meeting of the national #spinning group I recently joined. I have no idea what to expect. But I’m going to card some fleece tomorrow. And decide what wheel to take with me. I think one of my 2 old wheels…
If there’s anyone with experience with LSG alv’s, please some advice…

So, Erik was bored?

Yes!

I’ve got the first four (of twelve) sections of the Mega Multi Merino Gradient project spun and plied - and a plan to make a new lazy kate from something nicer-looking than a shoebox.

I’m done with 4/6 of the rolags in my supported spindles current project. I’m fascinated by how the singles look and i am super curious how they’ll look when plied. I need a lot more of this kind of experience to understand what roving or rolags become when you actually spin them and how singles look when you combine them. #spinning #Handspinning #FiberArts I stopped counting the days of supported spindle spinning but suffice to say I definitely feel like each day gets easier and better.

Doing this a third time since I migrated to gamepad dot club (yay!) ....

#introduction

I have a passion for all things #art, #knitting, #spinning (fiber), #books, #gaming, and of course #cats - I have #multiplesclerosis and often forget I cannot do all the things.

Below are some pictures of stuff I've done:

(For the Horde mittens, electric Daedalus spinning wheel, and a digital drawing done in Procreate on my iPad)

The other morning I was thinking about the possibility of making supported spindles out of metal (instead of wood or 3D printed polymer) - machining them I guess? I imagine a nicely shaped shaft, and a disc of some sort for the bottom weight, possible threaded on the shaft and on the disc to allow the discs to be changed out as desired. That’s the simple version, before adding cool features. #spinning #handspinning #metalwork @LilPecan @JamesK

Today is the last day of the 100-day spin a long thing I've been doing, so here's the current state of my drop spindle. I'm on the last single for this project and I likely won't finish it today but maybe soon?
