We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)

Spinning My Brains Out
Never let it be said that I do anything half-assed. No sirree! If I'm going to do anything, I'm going to do it full-tilt, pedal-to-the-metal, boogie-till-you-puke and with both sides of my arse. So it is that, now that I've started spinning, not much else has been happening in my life--by design. My dear SIL is letting me use the spinning wheel that she bought when she was in college and I've been having the time of my life, spinning my brains out. Jack likes to keep me company and sometimes, when he thinks I'm treadling too fast, he lays on the top part of the treadle.
Here's some of the commercially dyed roving that I spun up recently, as well as some roving that I dyed using the dyeing skills I learned from rug hooking.
