I've posted the report on http://designatedknitters.blogspot.com/ <BR/>I think I'm going to enjoy spinning for years to come. <BR/>Thanks for all the tips and encouragement.<BR/>tamamiTamamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329928124916521300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218634.post-1155791315263103412006-08-16T22:08:00.000-07:002006-08-16T22:08:00.000-07:00Claudia,My wheel arrived today and it's now built....Claudia,<BR/>My wheel arrived today and it's now built... and just then I got email from the spinner in the area. Sounds like she is willing to teach me! I'm also going to try coming to the September spindles and flyers meeting. I'm a bit shy about going to a meeting like this, but from what you said, it sounds like a nice, friendly group!<BR/>Now my only problem is -- how am I going to find the time to knit and spin on my free time... <BR/>Hope to see you at the meeting!<BR/>tamamiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218634.post-1155644375184876342006-08-15T05:19:00.000-07:002006-08-15T05:19:00.000-07:00Hey Tamami!

Sounds like u are off and running...And no, I am not Claudia from Deep Colors Studio in Kensington.<BR/><BR/>I have met Claudia and have heard good things about the Studio and plan on doing some workshops there as well.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.deepcolorstudio.com" REL="nofollow">http://www.deepcolorstudio.com</A><BR/><BR/>As mentioned already-The local to me spinning guild starts their membership year again in September and would be a good place to go once a month on a Sunday- it starts at 11 am and may fit your needs too.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.spindlesandflyers.org/" REL="nofollow">http://www.spindlesandflyers.org/</A><BR/><BR/>There are a few newsletters to download as well. No meeting until September, email the contact person to get on the newsletter mailing list. I was a total newb and was given really nice support to get my wheel going, and tips on spindling abound. Lots of show and tell and library books- a real fun and supportive group. Judging by how far away many members come from, guilds must not be too commonplace around here!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you are having fun!....Sounds like you are!<BR/><BR/>ClaudiaKnittinNursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031859385570627779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218634.post-1155574436753480432006-08-14T09:53:00.000-07:002006-08-14T09:53:00.000-07:00Claudia,Thank you for the pointers!

Bought a bag of beautiful dyed roving. Can't wait for my wheel to arrive -- my husband ordered it for me for my birthday. I'm so excited.<BR/>It turns out that there is a small sheep grower near I live, so I am going to contact that person to see if she's willing to teach me. There's also a class in Kensington in September, but I'd hate to drive there after work... (her name is also Claudia. That's not you, is it?)<BR/>Thanks again -- I will stop by again to report my progress!<BR/>tamamiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
