single minded knitting focus ends up paying off

Each Wednesday, I post little snippets about what’s happening, and what I’m working on.

Stick a fork in it, the knitting of my winter coat is done! I finished Monday night,

and then I promptly started another sweater.

I fall in and out of love affairs with spinning. Sometimes all I want to do is spin, and sometimes I have absolutely no interest in sitting at the wheel, or picking up the spindle.

Last weekend Gauge & Tension (a popup yarn shop out in Brooklyn) had a spindling demo by fiber artist Robyn Love, that totally rekindled my love of spinning. So I used it to bribe myself into finishing the knitting on the coat.

And I also used spinning to “encourage” myself to finish up a couple half finished blog posts (including the one about my pirate skirt.)
