Kiss My Knits!

My co-leader is still sick with mono, and I don’t want to cancel another meeting, so I’m going solo tomorrow night! I’ve asked another parent to stay and help out, so hopefully someone will step up for that.

Since I’ve got one night’s notice to put together a program, I’m pulling out the big guns! Yes, it’s spinning time. I’m going to bring fiber, drop spindles, and the spinning wheel. We’ll talk about fiber, pass some around, and try spinning a little just by twisting it. Then we’ll break off into pairs with drop spindles. One girl will draft the fiber, the other will keep the spindle going. Then they’ll switch. Then they can have a turn at the wheel. We’ll see how it goes. or Turtlegirl76, you should stop in sometime during the meeting from 6-7 before you go to the BAM. I imagine it’ll be amusing, if nothing else.

I’ve found some sites with good ideas about spinning programs. I may ask in too for more suggestions. Maybe I can turn my Brownies into little mill workers. Faster, girls, faster!
