You might be a spinner if......

You might be a spinner if:

-you pull the lint out of the dryer lint trap and seriously consider whether or not you could actually spin the stuff

-You brush the cat (long-haired) and think, hmmm this cat fluff would really blend well with that alpaca I'm going to card

_people are always picking little bits of sparkle off your clothes or hair, after all, angelina multiply!!!

-you know that Kromski, Louet, and Ashford are European cities, but are spinning wheel manufacturers

-your key decorating element in the living room is the spinning wheel

-you have an emergency drop spindle in your bag just in case you have to leave the house for an extended time and be away from your wheel

-you cruise through yarn shops or online stores and think "I could make that yarn!"

-you plan vacation trips according to fiber festival schedules

You know who I'm talking about - don't you???

Ravelympics, now... I've actually started several projects for Ravelympics. Spinning enough merino from Diana at www.etsy.com/shop/fiberfancy to make a sweater for Sophie, finishing an afghan for Ryan, spinning the rest of SpinAlong from CJ at www.etsy.com/shop/extremespinning
to make a Baby Beret, and finishing the Pretty Thing mitts for Julia! Mitts are done, 1/4 of the fiber is spun, the Lorax batt is two-ply yarn and the brim of the hat is finished, and Ryan's afghan is 3/4 finished. And the Olympics is only half over WOOT!!!
