Spinning in the Park!
- Sun 30th September 2007, 2:04 pm
Yesterday was the Spin-In at Irvine Park. I had a really good time. One other person showed up and she brought the wheel that I am thinking about buying so it was a double treat. I took my Spunky Eclectic stuff with me but I decided not to use it. I opted for the Superwash Merino in Lemon Lime in the center pull ball. This is a one pound ball and will take me some time to spin. I figure if I spin every day and get a nice even single, I can ply the three bobbins together and make something really nice. The singles are very soft and looking very even. This way, when I get to the September Spunky club stuff, I should have plenty of practic under my belt and I will be much less intimidated about screwing it up.
This is the full bobbin that I spun up yesterday at the park and at home. I am working on the next bobbin and I believe I should fill up yet another. I only have 4 so I hope that is all I need seeing as how I don`t have any more.
Next are the pictures of the Majacraft Rose that Karen had. Oh my goodness is it pretty. It has so much more to offer me than this Ashford Traditional has. The bobbins are bigger. The drive band is elastic. There are sooooooooooo many more ratios to choose from. The footprint is much smaller. I will be saving for one of these and I can`t wait til I have enough!
