I took a day off work today – sick. But I’ve put my time to good use. I’ve arranged to meet with a spinner on Monday night so she can show me how to spin my own yarn.
“Whoa!” You say… wasn’t it only *this* week you were saying that you hadn’t picked up knitting needles for 8 years… well I must have an enquiring mind. I just have to know how a spinning wheel works and I need to see what I can do 🙂
There is a possiblity that I can hire a wheel off the Latrobe Valley Spinners so I can do some spinning at home and see if I like it. If I do then apparently there is an excellent locally made wheel that she know someone is willing to sell for $100.
I took the triple irish chain quilt to the longarm quilter yesterday. It’s going to cost me $266!!! $266 I must be mad! (although this does include the wadding and the backing)
I’m not sending another quilt out to be quilted, I don’t think it’s a rip off, but, after all I’m sending the out precicely because I don’t care about them enough to quilt them myself. I’ll bite the bullet and do them at home from now on, I’ve decided the King Sized quilt I’m making for my friends wedding will be quilted by me in sections.
I don’t have photoshop installed yet, so no photos of my now enormous scarf until later…
