Whoops, looks like I can't for some reason. A couple of things you've said make me wonder if we live in the same general area. If you are close, I own several different wheels and would be happy to let you try them out. It made a lot of difference for me when I was first learning.

@vangrog.bsky.social Would it be ok if I DM you about spinning wheels?

Lana H, Regional Director of Deck Chair Rearrangement @named4wool.bsky.social · 7h

Based on the yarn at left, you are capable of progressing at wheel spinning fairly quickly.

I think the two bobbins at lower right are from a Jenkins wheel. I have a Jenkins and the bobbin shape is rather distinctive.

I am not a historian, and my knowledge is only Wikipedia-deep. What else ya got? I find myself wondering what the odds are that she was autistic.

It’s going to suck, but it looks like it’s time to start preparing to cancel my VISA card.

That’s a really lovely ring of color.

Thanks, but they were just hypothetical travels! No flying for me! Haven't been on a plane since some time in 2019.

As if I needed another reason not to fly. Add 'Being subjected to propaganda video while in the security line' to the list.

I do a sewn bind-off with a full twist the most often. It's fussy and kind of slow, but I can give it every bit as much stretch as the yarn over bind off, without the bulk and flare.

Oh you found a new one! Not happy with having to train a new one, or not happy with how it went?

I feel that way sometimes about my appointments. I'll think I should just cancel, but it'll be too late, so I show up anyway. And yet, my therapist always manages to ask questions that get me talking (rather than the sort that make me freeze up).

Lana H, Regional Director of Deck Chair Rearrangement @named4wool.bsky.social · 1d

That's really neat looking, and bonus points for the coordinating polish!

I think it's gorgeous, but I wouldn't trust everyone in this house to treat it properly (like slow preheating).

Lana H, Regional Director of Deck Chair Rearrangement @named4wool.bsky.social · 2d

Honestly that sounds like a beautiful way to grieve.

See that fluffy cat face in my profile pic? That's Pan. He was in a kill center in Utah. Social media alerted me to his situation. Social media peeps from a different platform drove a relay across multiple states to get him to me in Indiana.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

We had a frost advisory last night, so I cut all the basils. Tomatoes and peppers still seem ok this morning, but it won't be long. I sure am going to miss having a snack bar in the backyard this winter.

And did you see the even more detailed other sweater partway down the article?

Well darn, I accidentally bought pomegranate concentrate instead of pomegranate molasses. So now I have to simmer it with sugar for approximately forever.

Blessings on Past Me for doing this.

Two AC to DC transformers, each labeled with a labelmaker (one says “Minispinner Pro” and the other says “Poweradd battery.”)

That must make everything even worse than it already is, I'm sorry.
