counting in spinning

01 May 2015

Counting in spinning is very different than how we count for knitting or crochet. Yes, we still (generally) use base-ten to count, but the whats and whys are very different.

08 October 2014

My spinning time is short this week, but this is my Spinzilla progress for team Happy Fuzzy Yarn as it stands at noon on Wednesday. I hope to get a little bit more spindling in before 3pm, but I'm doubtful it will be much.
