Spinning dreams

There probably aren't a whole lot of spinners here (yet?), but here's an icon for anyone who wants it:


image of the Dreamwidth sheep holding a spindle with yarn spun from the logo.

The sheep is technically not currently spinning with the spindle, since I couldn't figure out how to have it holding the "fiber" coming out of the logo, so I figure it's just taking a rest. :D

Thank you!

Is there any chance you'll be at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend?

No, alas. I'm saving my pennies for Sock Summit.

Thanks!

You know, every spinner I've ever met has been a pusher eager to teach others how to do it. If there's a fiber arts guild or fiber shop in the area, I bet you could get the basics pretty quickly.

If that's not an option, here's how to make a good, inexpensive spindle for under $5 and a good, basic instruction video that answers most beginner's questions.

Oops, that was possibly more reply than you expected. ;)

I love it!

(I am also a spinner, and looking forward to Shepherd's Harvest out here next weekend.)
