This is my new Gripping Yarn Rose Spindle, it's made of Bloodwood. a Rose spindle is a combo of a Russian Supported lace spindle and a French hand spindle (thus far i like the French spindle part of it)The fiber was the packing peanuts, some very soft green Merino/Bamboo, probably not the best for practice, but it's purty and VERY soft! omg.I played around with it at Barnes and Noble with Sandi last night
I still need practice, it's so perfectly portable, i can do this in the car while waiting for Gigantor to get off work!
On the fiber front, i have an ounce of Mulberry Silk coming in a Dragon colorway from Plum Crazy Ranch It's part of my mother's day present from Ross and Kaeley, along with a Walnut Support Spindle (can we tell Ross is paying attention now!?)
I also got a store Credit for Corgi Hill Farms because of a mistake with her dying process, i love that AnnMarie is so conscious of these things and she'll do just about anything to keep her customers happy, i stalk her shop..all.the.time! I used the credit to buy a Babbling Brook batt.
My Demeter yarn won the Fiber Fancy Spin-a-long yesterday, it was a random drawing, so luck was with me! I don't know what my Fiber goodie prize is going to be yet, but it's shipping with my "Crow" Play in the Kettle Spin-a-long fiber.
and since I don't think i posted pictures of my Demeter Batt here we go =D
I finished knitting my French Press Slippers and just need to seam and felt them, should be interesting since i've never felted anything before.
Oooo, pretty spindle. Will you show me how it works sometime?
