Patience is the key. lol</p> <p>here is the first photo of starting to spin i had only one spindle and found a ceramic bowl my daughter made in school as my support bowl.&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee511/Laura_Halfpenny/2012-04-22080021.jpg" border="0" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is my two new spindles (i just got a plying one yesterday will post that later) but also showing a two ply ball of yarn wrapped around the cardboard circle. Not yet steamed as i am going to make many more for a project. Found a guy on etsy who hand makes russian spindles and he made the bowl and spindles.&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee511/Laura_Halfpenny/2012-04-28073623.jpg" border="0" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/thread/8272.aspxFri, 13 Apr 2012 11:28:29 GMT2fe8c464-605a-4576-8c35-cf81d693d56d:8272dizzysue0http://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/thread/8272.aspxhttp://www.spinningdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=48&PostID=8272<p>I really fancy having a go at this type of spinning and now I have a good video recommended to instruct me.

I found a lovely one on Etsy and just received today. I had some sample fiber so i pulled it and watched the second video of the gossamer thread and learned how to do it! Took me a bit but after a few hours i finally got the hang of it!</p> <p>will post pics as soon as I can. Once you get the hang of it it is really relaxing! sweet!&nbsp;</p> </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
