Well, I am apparently really bad at blogging. But I am going to try again. I have found in the past few weeks I had a lot more I could actually write about and up until this point kept forgetting to post it.
So! My newest project is learning how to spin my own yarn! I went to the Finger Lakes Fiber Arts Festival http://www.gvhg.org/fest.html back in September and bought a Schacht drop spindle and some alpaca roving. I gave it a try following instructions on how to use a drop spindle from a website. It didn’t turn out so well 
but I saw an add for a class this past weekend and took that. I am now making much better yarn though still catching the hang of it. Here are some pictures.
I am (trying to) make a two ply yarn. I am hoping that I will be able to make some mittens or something. We will see!
