Project Specturm: Elemental Fire
I have started on my second project spectrum project. The first one is a pair of ankle length socks. Now If I had a camera that worked LOL I would post a picture of the socks.
The sweater is being done in Baby Bee Sweet Delight Baby in Carrots Oh No!! LOL I get a kick out of the name for the yarn. This will be the first adult sized sweater I've done. Hope it will fit my mom when its done. I know how to knit sweaters and piece them together so No big deal.
Now I just need to get it knitted. Ha Ha. I've only got 30" for the back to do then work the pattern for the front. I figured knitting it in would be a little easier than tryingto go back and do a duplicate stitch later on.

Learning to Spin
For Christmas I received a high whorl drop hand spindle. It is very beautiful and the hand painted design on the top is gorgeous. I also got the book "Spinning in the Old Way" by Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts. The book is VERY informative and full of illustrations. My problem, I'm just not grasping it.
Maybe this is going to be one of those I need to see it in SLOW motion to get it or it could be that I'm left handed and that is posing a problem. Who know with me. I'm "backwards" so that may just be my problem.
