ICanSpin.com Park And Draft Spinning
okay I'm so stoked, I've spent part of the afternoon, when I've not been suffering from a cold to work on spindle spinning. Thanks to the aforementioned website, and my trusty CD spindle whilst I wait for my Bare Sheep spindle from Grafton Fibers, "not affiliated but she is SUPER to do business with.
Anyway thanks to the roving given by Janette at the OAKs meeting last weekend. I finally spun a single, now is it something I would knit with, no, is it all in a nice tight size, Nope, do I have my park draft perfected, again, nope, but, I've started and it is addicting, and pleasing to spin and watch it happen.
Word of advice, place a piece of masking tape on your spindle, with an arrow pointing for clockwise. I know how could you not know clockwise from counterclockwise.....Believe me, put a small piece of tape with a clearly marked arrow.
Oh and if your are like me and like cool sounds, try spinning to bebop ala radio at Netscape. The trumpet really makes you move.
Okay enough for now, back to the video and spinning, hope to have some pictures up soon, but for now believe me, it almost looks like Yarn!!!

P.S. Added note to my earlier post, I was going to attempt to photograph the aforementioned attempt to spin a single, but, and I kid you not the dog took it, honestly as I sit here at 12:02 editing this note the spindle and the spun roving is missing, annoying and I'll find it, if not I"ll do it again I can make another one, I have all the parts and I shall spin again!!!
Okay little bit melodramtic, but hey with the cold running through this family melodramtic is par for the course
