another step of balance

I find that when I am depressed or out of sorts, one of the things that seems to help the most is spinning.  I am not talking figure skating, which I do as well.  I am talking about making yarn.

On vacation, I bought this roving.  It has grays, blacks, and white.  It is a merino wool and silk mix.  

I started spinning this evening.  With a glass of JK Scrumfeys near by (a type of hard apple cider).  I spent all day at work wishing I was home spinning.

It is very soothing.  I am not the best spinner in the world, most due to lack of time to practice, but it gives me a lot of pleasure.  I find that it soothes.

I find that this fiber is not quite as soothing as the merino/silk.  It is flax (linen).  It is a trip.  Again, I need more practice.

And what is my Wolf doing while I spin?  He is sharpening chain saw blades!  Welcome to my life (smile).
