Some of you may have heard that my lovely wife (JJ) promised me a spinning wheel for Christmas & my Birthday. That present, however, wasn’t allowed to materialize until after I finished my D.Min. thesis. (For the record, that was my rule, not hers – I knew that a toy like that would be FAR to distracting!) Well, the thesis is complete, and the wheel arrived – unfortunately it arrived the day before Synod started so I didn’t have a chance to play with it. Fortunately, I’ve had a bit of time to try it out since Synod was finished.
I can’t honestly call myself a spinner yet (obviously!), but I think I’m improving. Here’s a picture of my first bobbin:

It’s ugly, I know, but here’s a pic of the second:

I think the second bobbin might actually be knitable!
All I can say is: fun!
Grace and Peace,
