It was a hoot. I sent my husband and children to a water park hotel and had knitters and spinners sleeping everywhere in my house.

Your yarns are beautiful and will be super sassy in your felted creations. Enjoy your spinning lessons. Here is part of the lesson when I teach spinning:<br /><br />Rule #1 of Spinning -- Wine helps you relax.<br />Rule #2 -- Enjoy the fiber you are working with.<br />Rule #3 -- Don't over-twist your fiber. (Repeat Rule #1 if needed)WonderWhyGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427923229119655073noreply@blogger.com
