Spindlicity is Live!

JuliaDraftClose0044.jpgThe premiere issue of Spindlicity has hit the net! I know all you knitters are out there chomping at the bit to see the new issue of a certain mag of the Knitty persuasion, and I'm right there with you, but if you've ever considered spinning, you should definitely check out Spindlicity. It's a great new resource that promises to grow with you in your new fiber habits. Plus your knitting pals are in it. You can find my article on how to get started, and Marnie's (two!) cute patterns for your first handspun. And don't miss Janel's article on her attempt to make an Optim sustitute at home - it's the perfect example of just how intrepid spinners can be. Finally, there's a CONTEST! Spin and knit your own shawl and you can win a scholarship to SOAR. I am so in! (And I'm guessing someone else is, too!)

What a beautiful magazine! Thanks so much for the links in your article; they're a great reminder that spinning isn't supposedly to be about getting frustrated... :)

What are you trying to do to me?!? ;)

BTW, your article is great, cute pics and nice links! Even though I know what you've done so far, I'm really looking forward to part two where you talk about actually spinning :D

Yay! I'm so glad you reminded me. I would have completely flaked it today. I think I know what I want to do with my silky roving now. Let's SOAR baby!

Thanks for posting that the site is live. I had almost forgotten about it. Off to slack off at work and read the site some.
