Spinning

June 26, 2008 on 9:16 am | In Craftiness, Guinea Pigs and Hamster | No Comments

A while ago I bought myself a drop spindle.  It’s a clever technology that been used for a few thousand years to make thread and yarn.  I also bought myself a big bag of random wool bits from Etsy.  After a large amount of spinning and pulling and plying, I now have a huge weird callous on my right index finger, and this bunch of yarn:

It’s all squishy and pretty and crazy.  I’m not sure what I’m going to knit with it.  

Also, I went to a party last week and on the way home I saw a hedgehog on the sidewalk, just waddling along.  It was so cute!  I’d consider getting a hedgehog for a pet, but I don’t like pets that eat meat.  They tend to have stinky poop.  I like my little vegetarian hamsters and vegan guinea pigs.
