Hey griddle! Welcome to BYC!!

I also spin! I love that I can say that now. I just bought my first spinning wheel yesterday and have been spinning like a lunatic. I was using a drop spindle before and am enjoying every minute of my new toy. Do you ever sell the wool from your angoras? I was thinking of getting an angora when we move so I can do the same.

I sell it for 8 dollars an oz unspun.

I am one of those "obsessive" knitters that can't just sit without some knitting in my hands, especially now that gardening is over for this year and the weather is getting nice and cold and rainy here. I have the same user name on ravelry if anyone else is a member there (if not you should be!)

I knit and just started spinning this year. I am getting my first Angora bunny tomorrow! EEE!
I have a ton of other hobbies but try to knit and spin a little everyday. It is getting easier now that summer is over and the weather isn't screaming "GET IN THE GARDEN!".

I'm angelineabaker on Ravelry.

Love to knit! Natural fibers, socks, hats mostly.

I've inherited a TON of novelty yarn; fun fur, squiggle, fizz - pretty stuff, my mom was WAY into scarf knitting. Any ideas of what to do with it? Tried e-bay, would love it to not live in my laundry room anymore. Ideas?

I will. I am sort of picture crazy. The man in my life asked me when my facebook picture was going to have a picture of something other than my ducks. I said, "when I get my bunny". Silly man.​

It looks nice as trim for the brim/edge of a hat, cuffs for mittens, top edge for little girl socks/booties, etc. If you don't want to knit with it at all, there are charity knitting groups you can donate to. There should be one in your area. Your LYS should know.

I picked up a drop spindle and a few ounces of fiber last weekend at a Fiber Arts Spin In.

We will see if I can do it or not.
