Weaving is already beginning to give me a clearer understanding of how fabric behaves, which is something I've never had much grasp of to begin with. I've got hopes! *g* Also, merely reading about hand-spinning has improved my grasp of why my yarn always twists and coils in on itself when I knit but never when I crochet.

I'm going to tackle hand-spinning before the end of the year. I've read both of the books I have from cover to cover twice, and I think I have enough of a grasp to give it a try. Now it's just a matter of finding a chunk of time where I know I needn't worry about interruption or other complications, which will probably be over T-day.

Did I tell you I found a nostepinne at Goodwill the other day for 50 cents?
