We have had a dreary, cold summer. Yesterday the sun finally came out! Bob and I had planned to go out to dinner with his son Adam. We were desperate to be outdoors so Typhoon on 23rd was an ideal choice. I am so obsessed with our new Knit Picks drop spindle that I opted to spin, rather than knit, during dinner.

I’m using the Top Whorl option. I was pleased at how easy it was to spin off to the side of my chair. We are going out to dinner with Bob’s daughter Ali, husband Steve and baby Ryan this evening. Tomorrow we are spending the day at the pool with Matt, Jessica, Wally and Fritz. There will be no photos of me spinning in a swimsuit! I’m sure a simple shirt-dress will be fine at the pool.

The next two videos in my drop spindling instruction series are up on YouTube.  Have a lovely drop spindling weekend!
