I just have so many things to DO and it's like 'no, you will have just enough cramps to have no focus'

you could literally distract me with a muffin right now

Justice Hoodie! Also WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE JUSTICE LORD SUPES?

and I still cannot enjoy spinning cotton no matter how hard I try

...wow, self, I rest my case facepalm

Cotton is an acquired taste, I'll admit.

Higher twist, slower draft. It makes you think, which is anathema to most spinning which is mostly, i'm just gonna make yarn and not think for a bit.

I had to slow waaaay down to get the hang of it.

but if it's not working for you, it's not working. and that's okay.

~snugs a Danii~

underwoodno5: well, as mentioned, my focus and the not

but I do have a pair of handcarders

so I'm going to give it a good shot

I AM liking the rolags from them

punis are your friend.

yep!

the ones from the blending board are nice for some things

if you use a chopstick, you can get a nice tight roll.

nodnodnod I'm going to try that a little more

nodnod

Still getting the feel for carding too

i'm returning everyone's bodies to the factory for retrofitting today this is unacceptable

I'm still spinning on that twenty five pound bale my sister got me. It is a lesson in humility.

sindicate: I'll take store credit!

underwoodno5: I've been thinking of blending the cotton slowly with some wool to give myself a little step-stool

That would be interesting, I don't know how that would full, though.

Experiment! Have fun. Let me know your results!

nodnodnod!

I've got a second set of ice dyeing down, I need to go rinse.

less dye this time.

oooooo
