Jul. 14th, 2024 08:06 amI got out a spinning project last night for the first time in...oof, over a year, and started spinning on it again. (It's hot right now and spinning is a good craft for hot weather, because it doesn't involve a pile of wool or other fabric sitting in my lap.)
I had been a little worried that, with such a long gap, I'd have trouble picking it up again. But it turns out that spinning is like riding a bicycle - my hands know how to do this, even without thinking about it. I'd forgotten just how sensually pleasant spinning is: the feel of the fiber moving through my fingers, the sound of my spindle as it spins. It's very good.
This project is a very large one for me - 24 oz of fiber in total - and I've been working at it on and off for a couple years now. I've got about 6 oz left, which is three full spindles. Maybe this will actually be the year I finish it, and then I can start knitting the sweater I'm making the yarn for.
