So my spinning wheel arrived on wednesday, although I didn't get to put it together until thursday. It is beautiful, but we had a few problems with it. After an appointment made with Lucy at Mind's Eye, I now have a beautifully running wheel. It needed much oil, realigning, and eventually the leather flexible joint to be replaced. I spun 2 bobbins of corriedale wool tonight, and if I get motivated will take pictures later after I dye it (undecided on method/color). The first bobbin seems slightly underspun, but I am fairly pleased by how much more even it looks.

No I hadn't. Thanks for the great link, I had only just begun investigating different dye options so it has been really helpful already.

I did have a good time, though I was getting tired and grumpy towards the end. I hope I wasn't too bad company, because I really did enjoy the conversation. I am afraid that I am used to child-influenced earlier bedtime.

Not bad at all :) If you wanted to go and grab coffee/tea sometime earlier in the afternoon it would be great to see you again when we could talk without screaming over the music.

Although the music was really good (we have similar tastes and I should ask you for recs one of these days), a more conversational level of noise in general probably would be good. What are you up end of next week/the following week (spring break for me)?

Next week I have Mon night free, although I may go to ceremony. Tues is usually Diesel but I can skip it. Wed is the TNG toy making discussion. Thurs I am totally free. I am usually free on Sat nights and most Sundays. The following week is open except for Friday.
