Need to SPIN

January 29th, 2007

I have a bunch of stuff I need to do right now, and I need to head in to town soon as well. I’m finding it so hard to make myself do these things, because all I want to do is spin the little sample of alpaca fiber I got for Christmas. I have about as much of the Alpaca as I did the silk, and I’m spinning it about the same thickness. I love the feel of the fiber, even though it’s not quite as smooth to spin.

I’ll recycle the photo of my Christmas haul so you can see a picture of the fiber I’m talking about. Click on the image to see the full size, and look at #6. Unfortunately that picture doesn’t really show the purples in the colorway, but I think you get the point. Isn’t it wonderfully bright?

I’ve decided to just take the spinning with me so that when I have a moment I can get a little bit in. I haven’t as of yet done any spinning in public, but I’ve read a lot of spinner’s blogs that talk about spinning while waiting in line, or whatever. I feel very self conscious about the thought of spinning in public, but not knitting in public. I guess I worry that people will think that I’m trying to show off, which is just silly. There are also times that I just don’t want to be social with people, and spinning in public is definitely something to draw questions.

Hm…perhaps I should make a knitting and spinning category on this blog…
