A hand spinning journal. See http:/ www.Spin-Knit.com. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. My AOL Journal went down.alas! Leave a comment if so inclined. You can ask me a question by sending to spinknitinfo@aol.com. It may take me several weeks to answer, as I have a regular job that takes me out of town two weeks at a time. If you are new to spinning, you have a lot to look forward to! It is very rewarding endeavor.Dave. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

spin a yarn: September 2008
http://spin-knit.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A hand spinning journal. See http:/ www.Spin-Knit.com. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Here is a pic of my current project. I use this pattern on all my scarves, as it is easy to remember and I don't have to remember where I am. Cast on, then knit 5, purl 5, repeat till scarf is desired width. Do 5 rows, then reverse pattern, purl 5, knit 5.etc. You only have to count to 5 and you can count the purl side easily to see where yur at in the pattern. No thinking! My AOL Journal went down.alas!

spin a yarn: spinning from roving
http://spin-knit.blogspot.com/2008/11/spinning-from-roving.html
A hand spinning journal. See http:/ www.Spin-Knit.com. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This is alpaca roving.I have always had problems spinning from roving. Roving is a long bundle of fibers that are combed and generally the same length, and laying parallel, with a very slight twist for cohesiveness, so as to be fed into a spinning machine. Roving is about 2 inches wide. I recently found out how to spin with it: break off a 10 inch section, then divide. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
