Selina’s craft world

I am still here, but I am kind of sick - mainly headaches, stomach and exhaustion. I am still not done with my thesis which drives me crazy. I did not stitch either, as I am still looking for my bug. I will update Linabear Creations next weekend.

So, now for the fun part. I got two new spindles Tuesday. They’re lovely, wonderful and totally great. I got to spin really thin yarn on them. I just love thin yarns.

And now the big deal … After being overly excited to be able to spin the kind of yarn I like, DH got me a spinning wheel off ebay - isn’t he the greatest? It’s an elder Louet S10 with single treadle. I got it yesterday and been spinning since then.

I spun the lovely yarn below - which is hand dyed with Kool Aid - has around 16 WPI and is 2 plied. I am rather proud of myself as this is my first yarn on the wheel Sadly the photo does not show the lovely blue tones it has. I will either try to spin more of this yarn to knit something bigger or use that skein to knit a camera bag. Not sure yet.

Bigger Photos of all can be seen in our gallery Thanks for looking.
