Drop spindle 101 tonight.
I went to the Rumplestilskein spinning group tonight and thanks to Melyssa I learned a bit about drop spindle spinning. I received an Ashford drop spindle from the Mrs. Twisted for Christmas and finally opened the package and with some help, it was pretty successful. it was a small turnout tonight but very fruitful for thos of us who came. Teresa http://singsurfknit.wordpress.com/ brought her spinning wheel and Melyssa http://gwlana.livejournal.com/, Renatta and I had our drop spindles for the first drop spindle night. Melyssa brought some beautiful yarn she had spun and some she dyed and spun to share.

It does look like a happy little group there, the handspun / dyed yarn is very nice - will you be showing a picture of what you spun? :)

Great pictures! How exciting to be spinning. Do you think you will like spinning as much as knitting? It may be a perfect fit for your love of fiber - becoming a designer of yarn. I jumped the gun on wishing you fun at Stitches (I was thinking it started last weekend), so I want to repeat my best wishes to you and Mrs. Twisted. Have fun! Take pictures!! Wish I was there. Change of subject - looks like you guys are getting hammered with rain!
