Since my PRGE Secret Pal had generously gifted me with this beautiful grey wool top, and in honor of PS 2.0 (February and March being grey, blue, and white), I decided I'd best get a'spinnin' again today.
My spinning skills were a bit rusty, but I'm not off to a bad start.
Spinning soundtrack: The Kingston Trio's Greatest Hits and Cracker's Kerosene Hat. (I honestly don't know why I like this album so much. I just do. So there.)
yeah, it's kind of fat yarn. that's only b/c i can't spin any other kind -- yet...lol
cracker...i know! something about that album..."the movie star/crashed her car/everyone said she looked beautiful/even without her head"... ah, it just speaks to me, ya know?
Hey Obsidian, it's been awhile since I visited your blog I've been quite busy =) it's so kool that you can atually spin! I'd love to learn to do that! I hope all is going well for you=)
"One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it--it was the black kitten's fault entirely." (L. Carroll, Through the Looking Glass)
I'm Yankee-Born and Southern-Raised, which makes me kind of Southern Gothic (in the old literary sense of the word). After 15 years in the Big Apple, I spent 4 years on a farm in Michigan raising chickens and llamas and learning to spin, knit, and needle-felt. Now I'm back home in NYC with my much-beloved spouse and one crazy tortiseshell cat. You can also find me on Ravelry.com as okitten.
