No spinning wheel - drop spindle to start. when i settle somewhere maybe i will be able to get a wheel... but the drop spindle is working well now! And you totally sound like you know what you are talking about! fiber knowledge osmosis?

And this is probably not going to be done for a very long while... but I will! i really should update my knitting blog... but i am spinning way more than knitting these days... i love 40s sweaters, this book is going to result in many, i hope!

And I am really hoping to come visit and get to play with dying yarn... possibly not till winter break? but i will keep you updated. *hugs*
