what a week of spinning does....

I have been really calmed by spinning yarn this week.  It has taken the priority over sewing, though I do hope to start Russell's kilt tomorrow even though it is not on the weekend list.  Things like actually getting to the grocery store and digging in the yard are on the list.  Those small little things that get dropped when life is whirling around you.

But I have been spinning.

I filled this spindle.

I unwrapped the bobbin on to a niddy nod and tied the yarn so it would not tangle.  

And then I used a plastic milk jug with water in it as a weight to let it dry.

And now I have yarn!

I am hoping to get the whole pound of fiber spun.  Russell is going to get a Christmas hat and Danica may too.  I was thinking I needed another shawl.  There is nothing like too many shawls!  Makes me smile.
