I suppose my hobby is 'textiles' as I can't stick to just dressmaking, or quilting, or knitting, or weaving etc!!! I find learning a new skills is a great distraction from life's worries. I look forward to seeing what you learn next. :)HoffiCoffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872359396631142439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-87050261625045615422016-04-03T01:45:13.705+02:002016-04-03T01:45:13.705+02:00Thanks Suna :) Well, Hilde let me try her spinning...Thanks Suna :) Well, Hilde let me try her spinning wheel, but I had to abandon the pedalling bit pretty quickly :D She had to turn the wheel while I sorted the hand and wool coordination, so I seriously doubt my yarn would look very nice had I spun it on a wheel. A spindle is low tech and you have a lot more control, but it takes a lot more time though. <br /><br />You should totally give it a try, it is frikkin' awesome! (and very addictive!)<br />Hugs;)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-24112813145224751302016-04-03T01:39:12.753+02:002016-04-03T01:39:12.753+02:00Thank you Iris :) I feel guilty alot too. But why?...Thank you Iris :) I feel guilty alot too. But why? Crafting and sewing is productive (as opposed to watching TV), but maybe it's because it makes us a little "unapproachable"..? Or that crafting something pretty isn't useful? No that can't be it :) I say, we keep doing it regardless. It obviously is good for the health:)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-81538858999166079832016-04-02T11:14:09.743+02:002016-04-02T11:14:09.743+02:00Wow!

When I was a little girl, pre-school I think but cannot be sure, my granny used to make her own yarn and I thought one would have to keep at it for years to make nice, even, fine yarn, but look at those hanks in the bottom picture! They look perfect :) Now I feel like giving it a go!<br /><br />Good to see you're crafting again, it really is good for the soul :) Hugs!Sunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144458173180092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-74560807156843732912016-04-02T11:11:21.615+02:002016-04-02T11:11:21.615+02:00Impressive work, you certainly pick up new skills ...Impressive work, you certainly pick up new skills very fast! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well lately, but it's a good sign that you can enjoy crafting again. I sometimes feel guilty spending so much time on my sewing (and everything that comes with it), but it's one of the few activities that really takes my mind off things. Very curious to see what you've created with your homespun yarn! Irishttp://irisarctica.comnoreply@blogger.com
