Fiber Fiber Everywhere


Today while I was swimming, doing the backstroke, I was looking up at the clouds and started thinking that they looked like some really nicely drafted wool. Then I glanced at a woman relaxing by the pool and thought, wow... her hair looks like a lovely blend of silk and merino, and what a wonderful golden color it would spin into. Guess I'm starting to look at things a little differently now that I've started spinning.

Spinning...as in fiber


I am now the proud owner of a Kromski Fantasia Spinning Wheel. For the last month, whenever I've told someone that I was taking a spinning class, I always have to say "as in fiber". Most everyone thinks it's on the bike. I'm still trying to get my feet to slow down a bit, they just like to go fast. I'm having a great time learning and now that I have my wheel I'll be able to practice every day.
