Fiber Fool
The feats and foibles of a fiber fanatic.

Excited Exhaustion!

6/20/2005

After much…
Bountiful's booth at the Estes Park Wool Market

A little animal looking (pics to come later in the week)…

We had…
A trunk full of fibery goodness!

That trunk contains the complete haul of Snow, Margene and myself.

This is mine…
All of my purchases from Estes Park Wool Market

Yep, I got the Majacraft Suzie Pro. I *love* it, though need to not spin when DH is around at the moment. He keeps make rude comments about the rustic quality of what I’m spinning. I don’t think he understands that it is not something that is going to miraculously be wonderful now that I have a wheel. He was so impressed with my knitting when I first started, but I think he conveniently forgets that I had learned as a child, so I wasn’t a *real* newbie. My hands and arms and wrists all knew the movements, they just needed reminding.

Snow and Amanda (and the people I bought the wheel from, though they could have been buttering me up to make the purchase) have commented on my quick learning of spinning. Yes, it isn’t perfect and if you want perfect you should buy commercial yarn. But, before I bought the wheel I had logged roughly only 4 hours of wheel time - 3 on Snow’s Traveller and 1 on Amanda’s Little Gem. So, I’m trying to ignore DH’s comments the best I can and not egg him on by spinning in front of him.

I’m trying to be a responsible working adult today *sigh* so I haven’t spun since yesterday afternoon and I need to sign off soon and get to more serious work. But, don’t worry, I have a lot more to report throughout the week!

Oh, if you have favorite blogs that include spinning, please let me know! I’ll need to be adding those to my bloglines!
