I realised looking back at last years tour that I started that on the back foot too. Last year I went to the Knitting and Crochet Guild AGM on Day One but did manage a bit of spindle spinning.

Today was my brother in laws wedding. I thought taking the wheel might be a bit conspicuous though I did have a bit of knitting in my bag in case we were early, in the end I was very restrained and it stayed in the bag. We were lucky to have much better weather than the cyclists in Rotterdam and it was a lovely day, the bride and groom both looked very nice and everyone had a lovely time.

We got home a couple of hours ago, in time for me to do a bit of spinning while I watched the highlights programme.

I feel I am starting to get back into the swing with this fibre. I haven’t actually done much spinning since the demo at Clandon back in May, and was having some trouble with the bobbin jerking, but I think I have solved that now. I am definitely glad to be getting a bit of practice in before Knit Nation since I have booked into 2 spinning classes and want to be a bit more on top of my game before that.

I’m afraid I am starting off with a bit of a dark photo, but you get the idea.

This is bobbin 3 of 6, so coming along!
