Teagan Has A Spindle

Last weekend Teagan tried her hand at spindling on my CD spindle.  She loved it so much that she spun up all the sample pieces I had left over from my class at Stitches East.  We went to The Woolery website so she could pick out her own good spindle.  I thought for sure she'd choose the cat face sculpted spindle similar to my rabbit spindle but no - she chose a Kundert Spindle.  The whorl and shaft are made with walnut and the accents on the whorl are yellowheart and bloodwood.  It's gorgeous.  She likes my merino/silk and had the easiest time spinning that; so I gave her the choice of colors and what does she choose?  GREEN!  It is not the light glacier green I have, but called lichen.  Still a Louet fiber; it is a deeper green and I sure love it.  Good thing there is plenty of it to share with grammy.  I SO love having a granddaughter that shares in my love of crafts. 


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  What we see when watching others depends on the window through which we look.
