I finished paying for the Schacht Matchless and brought it home. I am having such a good time with it. I have ordered the wooly winder for it and am still spinning the wool I got at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber!
I will post a picture of it when I am finished.

Yesterday I started a Toe-Up Sock class at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber. We learned how to do a seamless toe and it was really COOL. Now I can start slow and I did. I had to do it about three times before I got it right but now look at me. I added the second [...]

I walked out on the deck this morning and here is the spinning I saw. The dew it collected made it so very easy to see. It is really amazing that something so small can spin something so delicate and fast and not even need the spinning wheel, crochet hook or knitting needs to do all [...]
