Yarn Post

I know it's more usual to post pretty projects, but for the beginning spinners who are perhaps feeling like their spinning will never be as nice as stuff they've seen in-person or on the net, here's a pic of what's either my first or second successful attempt at spinning on my own (I think the class stuff stayed in the classes I took at Pennsic).




Uneven, slubby, and still crimped because I never bothered to set it. I've actually taken it and hung it up just now, since it may not be pretty but it could still be useful. I think it's useful to have an idea of where you started; gives you an idea of how you're progressing. Plus it's useful to show to people when they're taking their first lessons ;)

That's why I still have the very first quilt I ever made. It's a real horror (ugly colors, weird fabrics, one side almost a foot longer than the other, badly quilted) but it's very instructive to see where I started.

Also, Diamond likes to sleep on it, and who am I to deprive a tiny gray cat of a comfortable bed?

Indeed, it is obviously the perfect shape for a kitty :)
