New pictures from Els

Beautiful work, Els! Love the yarn samples, luscious yarn, and oh my, those
colors. And good to see you, too. Now we can picture you happily spinning away
of an evening. Unless, of course, Otto wants you to make dinner or something..

Three new photos on the site from Els. Am I up to date? If I've missed
anybody's mailing, apologies. I've been busy setting up my new web site -
my
fifth - and deleting spam!

By the way, I have quite a few e-mail addresses. I only use this one for
communication with the news group. This is the only e-mail address that
has
been affected by the "Microsoft" spam! Those of you who encode your email
addresses are very sensible. The spam has been falling off recently. I
have
Norton with live update installed by the way.

Cheers, Martin

I started to just save the post for future browsing until I saw Carol's post
about a picture of Els! Put me in the curious category too. I went back to
the original post and opened that page right up!

You do beautiful work Els. Enjoyed as well seeing the artist ;D Your wheel
was a lot smaller than I've been picturing. I keep getting the image in my
head of all of you at these huge wheels that fill the entire corner of a
room (a good sized one) Creating these mountains of yarn which you further
get to play with when you use them. I keep forgetting that we the (human
race) keep striving to make everything smaller except taxes lol.

Hugs,
Cori


Ahh Cori i do have a larger wool wheel, but the Lendrum is my new
sweetheart and it spins like a dream. It packs up easily and can come
with me where ever I go.

Katherine I did see yarn similar to the skein I made, in our local wool
store. It was made in Japan and just to look at it was exspensive.....LOL
It would be way to dear to use it even for a scarf.

Spinning your own is neat that way. I do not think that you could earn
any money with it, it just takes to long. But for your own use or gifts
for friends and family, it works very well I find. It is also a very
soothing occupation for the mind.... Right everyone who spins.... I
find it calms you down after busy times or turbulant times.

Yes, when Otto needs care everything gets droped.....LOL....He is spoiled
rotten for sure.

We have rain as well and it has been coming down steady. The forest
certainly needs it, I love this windy grey day. We had a wood fire the
first time of the season and it was very cosy, while we watch ocean
Eleven. I do think that most all of the movie starts in that oldie are no
longer living. Good singing and light entertainment. What more can a
person ask for

Yes, I can see that, Els. Unfortunately, I will need to visit you to learn
how to spin. Nobody here does it. Sigh!
