We did one a few years back and really enjoyed it. It become too much for me to juggle though after Eliana was born. I do miss it.

I'll send her over. Or maybe I won't.

I smiled all under when I saw that carder as you first photo...I have a very similar one tucked away. Who knows if or when I will "for real" revisit spinning again. I seem to be heavily engaged in embroidery these days. But I remember with joy those days that I would get together with my spinning friends...wonderful memories of wool through my fingers.<br /><br />Oh, I also raised Romney sheep...my very own flock. I still have skeins of their wool I can knit.<br />Happy Spinnning!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710910366858293660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792106146507446102.post-42626452427738814892011-06-08T16:27:46.553-07:002011-06-08T16:27:46.553-07:00I love the idea of you bringing all these people t...I love the idea of you bringing all these people together to pass on the skills.
