RE: First Frost/knitting

Ooh I really liked spinning. Trouble is I only did it because I wanted
to use my own sheep's wool, I didn't like knitting that much. And it
took quite a lot of work to get the raw wool fit for spinning. But it
was such a zen kind of thing...treadling away with the fiber sliding
through your fingers, building up on the bobbin...the little creak of
the wheel keeping time. Yeah I ought to do that again.

Wow..I knit, and I'm learning how to spin fiber on a spinning wheel.
But I
did not know about that site.  Right now..with college homework, my
crafts
have taken a back seat. But with fall right around the corner...I'm
ready to
start up again.  Something very soothing about curling up with a good
cup of
tea and some knitting...preferably by the fireplace...with my cat on my
lap....mmmmmmmmmmmm.  nice image in my head.......
