iSpin

Opal inspired me. I admit it, I haven't been spinning. But looking at this gorgeous eye candy, I couldn't resist and I did my ten minutes. :)

I have some beautiful Ashland Bay merino top, procured from Ba, the local fiber pusher my friend who taught me to spin.

The short staple length has taken some getting used to, but I am now swearing less and spinning more. Here's my progress so far.

I am feeling contemplative and melancholy, and spinning was just what the doctor ordered. My mother would have been 65 today. She died in 2005, but she was lost to me years before that. She is finally at peace. I miss her terribly.
