My spinning has been on hold going on about two weeks now because I’ve been sick, and I have really missed it. Before this stupid cold came on, I had been spinning in a spare bedroom because, as you can imagine, my cats and dogs would not be that helpful if I tried to do this with them around. I’ve, therefore, kept all my spinning stuff in one room that neither has access to. On top of getting sick, my husband finally insisted that I pull out the extra bed, which goes in that room, because my coughing and snorting has woken him up a few times. The room is not that large, so once the queen size bed is made up in there, I’m barely able to move around.

I am really hoping I find some time this weekend to get back to it, even if I have to find another room, haul my spindle goodies in there, and close the door on my furry helpers. Hopefully, my hands will remember what to do. Two weeks seems like forever!

And, as a side note, Craftys.com – where I originally took an on-line spindling class – has its classes 75% off again. If you have ever thought of giving this a try, for $9.99 (and of course the cost of supplies) I think it is a major deal. If you still aren’t ready to try spinning, I can also suggest the amigurumi classes. In fact, I haven’t gotten through all my Craftys classes yet (the freebie ones included), but from the ones I have completed, I feel comfortable recommending any of them, especially when you can get them for such a great price. The sale ends Sunday 2/17/13. I will probably sign up for a few more. I just have to figure out which ones!
