Spin
I own several spindles including a Bosworth Featherweight.
In October of 2007 I became the proud owner of a HitchHiker Spinning Wheel. It sat for a time because I was too busy to figure it out. When I finally had the time to devote to spinning, it developed a horrendous squeak which took me two weeks to figure out. When I did I felt stupid. The wheel was thus named Squeaky to remind me to check the simple. In 2009 I finally took him back to visit Dave at MDSWF and discovered a few things to make my spinning easier. For example: a drop of oil on the bobbin each time you switch will ensure your wheel runs much quieter.

I decided to join Dave in his Summer of Spinning challenge. My goals are simple, to spin for 10 minutes every day, to try to spin up as much of my stash as I can, and to make detailed notes as to what I’m doing. Ravelry has changed my knitting and crochet life and I need to apply some of those lessons (crossed with my love of charts and diaries) to my spinning.
I’ll make a nice proper chart soon, but for now… try this. please scroll to see everything. I try to keep it updated.
