It’s The Final Countdown!

Why…. Why do I always think that I’m some super fast and magical knitter?

Well.. I used to be able to knit super fast :) back in the days of getting home from work and quickly whipping some dinner together then knitting for the rest of the night ;) Right now… 99% of my knitting is done after the little monkey hits the sac. And y that time…. Im exhausted. Thus… My idea of knitting overly ambitious Christmas gifts is now a really dumb one. It’s not much. It’s a cardigan for my sis and a vest for my brother :) here’s hoping they’re too busy to check on my blog till after Christmas ;) I’m done my sisters and need to finish the neck and arm borders for my brother :) We have a long car ride tomorrow, and I’m hoping I can get a bunch done :) the worst part… Is that I’ve been knitting these for months!!!! Gah!!!! So annoying :(

In other news…. And way more fun news….

I LEARNED HOW TO SPIN!!!!!

It was quite funny. Anytime I told anyone that I was taking a spinning class they thought I was taking a cycling course! Lol

But yes… I finally took a drop spindle spinning class at the Purple Purl. It was 4 hours long and I loved every minute!

I can see how spinning is addictive. You totally get into a zen sort of state of mind and it gets very very peaceful. Well… Until you keep breaking your fiber! Lol

We learned to spin with 2 types of fiber. I only remember that one was called top :) I was way to excited to pay attention to the names of the fiber I was using! Lol in gonna start doing my homework and learning about different types of fiber.

This is my first little skein that was spun with the top :)

This is my second mini skein

I of course came home with some wool so spin and started spinning it right away :)

Im trying really hard to spin a little every day. But till I get this Christmas knitting done… It’s gonna have to wait :)
