My Private Spinning Lesson
Today John drove us out to Mesa where I attended a 2-hour one-on-one session with Barbara at the Fiber Factory. This is such a nice store, I wish it was closer so I could attend real classes sometimes. John of course had talked to the people there several times while shopping for birthday gifts and so they recognized him and wished me happy birthday. Yes, I know he’s a keeper! It is nice to know your heart still skips a beat when thinking of your spouse after so many years and no, it is not because of my birthday loot. Anyway, Barbara gave tips to improve my drafting and just watched me practice for a while, correcting my technique. Then she showed me how to spin from the fold, which is exciting and new for me. Now I just have to continue practicing which I hope to do lot in the next week. I don’t start work again until the 2nd of January!
