My, how the time flies!
I've been traveling a lot lately, and not crafting much. But...
Here is the milk fiber on the Tenor Spindolyn:
I tried spinning it on the Pinkie, but the Pinkie has just too much pull-in even though this is a long-stapled fiber - it's really slippery and I don't move my hands fast enough. I really like how soft it is, and how soft it stays once spun up. I think I'll ply this with the super-soft black alpaca I spun on the other Spindolyn (I need more Spindy spindles!). This probably isn't my favorite fiber of all time to spin, but I do like spinning it - especially on the Spindolyn! :-D
And I've done a tiny bit of knitting (last night) on the capelet:
I've almost finished the bottom edge ribbing, and then I need to pick up and knit the collar and button bands.
We've been doing a bit of woodworking - we made this for a spinning friend:
Didn't Hubby do a nice job on the walnut whorl?!
Here are our first and second Navajo spindles:
And the next two - the walnut one is for another spinning friend - but the cherry is MINE, all MINE. :-D
And I'm trying to make a knitting sheath:
I'm actually going to try using it with the Spindolyn, for those times when the Spindy base isn't quite as easy to use.
And I have a 'brilliant' idea regarding the Pedal Pusher and the spindle attachment, but I'm going to keep mum until I see if it works at all. :-)
