Wow. I could picture a spinning wheel and had read about spinning on other people's blogs, but really knew nothing. Leslie (theSpinnersLoft.ca) opened my eyes to different fibres, hand carding, a drop spindle and different spinning wheels. Interesting, exciting and totally overwhelming.
I'm looking at all the yarns I have in a totally different way. And itching to learn more about the spinning process so that I can create my own yarns. But more than anything I wish I had planned my vacation better so that I could have spent more time with her. Oh well, there's always next time!

I am interested in learning to spin also but am somewhat intimidated by the process--although I am assured by spinners that once you get it, it's very easy.
Your sock is very pretty. :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Get yourself a drop spindle and watch Ebay and craigslist (do you have that in Toronto?) for a wheel; you'll never look at yarn the same way again!
