spinners

Welcome here ! I don`t know i think there were some ........don`t know if they still read this , But there are several weavers and of course knitters Crocheteres etc,,, mirjam

Of course there are. Well, at least one. My thing right now is crocheting and knitting with singles off my new wheel. Lately I've been crocheting larger items and knitting socks.

I was at the Ontario Handspinners' Seminars vendors booths on Friday night in Kingston, Ontario, and spent a little more than my budget on fleece. I got a pound of beautiful dyed pencil roving in green/ yellow. I'd love to see that become a vest for me. Then I bought just over a kilo of pewter coloured roving for Christmas gifts. Not that I know what I'm making for Christmas gifts yet, but there it is ready to go.

Well I used to do it but sold my spinning wheel and drum carder earlier this year.

Alas my heart problems have got worse. I was rushed in hospital 3 times in February. It is 30 years next year since I started with heart problems and I have been fighting them but now they are winning and I am losing.

I have had to give up a lot of crafts, I have not got the stamina to do them. Just given away a lot of patchwork material. hugs. Shirley

Hi, Louise. I'm in Ohio, we have a few nice wool festivals. There's a lot of alpaca around here.

I've been spinning for 30 years, to feed my other habits that required yarn. :)

I have some long-stapled romney on the wheel, doing a fine tight 2-ply for warp on my inkle loom, and the backstrap. I have alpaca on the drop spindles.

I'm sorry to hear that. When my son was born I lost fine use of my hands, couldn't crochet or spin for about two years there, nearly killed me. :) I was able to knit, and that saved my sanity.

The Wool Gathering is comming up in Sep and that is a nice one for home spun as well as branded yarns. It's near Yellow Springs OH

i wish you Quick easy and pleasant healing mirjam
