Hello all!
I am a newbie to both this blog and to spinning....I bought my first spindle in February and have been entranced ever since. This is a picture of my present main spinning project....koolaid-dyed BFL that I am spinning up as a two-ply for a shawl. There is my sweet little Bossie mini, too. After getting it I no longer consider my other spindle to be fully functional. I hope to finish the spinning this weekend so that I can start chipping away at the rest of my burgeoning fiber stash!
I look forward to learning from you all and enjoying the works of your hands....
(please note that this picture was taken today, not in 2005.....gotta figure that camera out. :-) )

You're off to a super start with your spindling skills! The Bossie mini is cute. How long does it hold a spin? How much are you able to spin with it?
My computer and the digital camera always have issues with each other about the real date. I've never sorted it out.
I call my Bosworth Bossie. It seems to want to spin about 17-20 seconds, with a good thigh roll. I can't give you an idea of yardage, as I am using my arm for a niddy right now. Your Turkish spindles sound tempting, and beautiful too. I am definitely in the market for a heavier spindle, as I don't have one that can spin worth a lick.
Thanks for the encouragement. I definitely hoping to get better with practice!
I read such great reviews on the Bosworth spindles that I plan to buy one at the Black Sheep Gathering late June.
Donna, I decided a good thing about the short spin time this morning is less yarn length=faster wind on time. :-) I'm sure it all evens out in the long run.
