Too Much of a Good Thing

 

I'm not spinning as much as I used to. This has been on the Ladybug for months. I work on it every now and then with no real urgency. 




Here's the reason. I pulled all this handspun just out of the nooks and crannies of the living area. I have three big bins back in the sewing room.




I've tried using it up. I'm making blankets out of it. I've made lots of mitts and socks but it never makes a dent in the stash.




I cast on a hat with some of it yesterday. Out of shame. 




As much as I love my Ladybug and my Ashfords, I need to make this my primary spinning tool again. Wheels are just too darn efficient.

    You might have to start giving your handspun yarn away like soap!

    That is the eternal problem with crafting!

    I spin less for the same reason--I rarely use the yarn I make BUT I LOVE TO SPIN IT! So there!

    I tried to learn how to spin without success and became uninspired when I realized that after you finish that time consuming process, you still need to knit it up!

    Loved seeing what handspun you had just in your living area. I miss handspun.
    Blessings,

    I still have piles of yarn Mom has spun (not to mention all the stuff she has!). It does knit up so pretty!
