I took my four year old to the fiber festival! (For his sake. I don't knit, or do anything of the sort, I love the fiber arts but have no time to take them up. He is newly fascinated with spinning, and this was one town over and free, so off we went! He had a very good time, so I feel doubly good about it.)

As a fiber artist myself, I salute your efforts to encourage his interests in spinning and suchlike!

P.S. In the Andes, five year olds spin on drop spindles...just saying. :)

Yep, he did so with a very nice woman who was demonstrating and who let him try, and also on an electric spinner with the nice folks demoing it. I am sure he would love the latter, however, over $700 is a bit much to spend on a 4-year-old's crafty interests. He's getting a student drop spindle, tho.

I don't spin or knit or...and *I* wanted the electric one. Cheating or not, it looked marvelously easy and fun. Heh. Their willingness to engage my son and let him use it was also a bonus. I was impressed with the people as well as the tool. :)

That. Is. Awesome.

I have contemplated the electric spinners myself because sometimes it hurts too much to spin my drop spindle, but not too much to draft the yarn. I have not yet justified the expense, although I hear they are less expensive on eBay or if you make them yourself.

Your icon is very appropriate because some of those things involved yarn for knitting!

Realized I didn't have to write the new version of this article/partial dissertation chapter sequentially, and accordingly developed a plan for working on it tomorrow that doesn't involve trying to perfect the introduction!

I've found it's hard to introduce things if you haven't yet written them. Non-linear working is awesome.

Planned a sample teaching presentation thing, because I have a job interview next week? (For a tiny, tiny adult learning class. But still. I am treating the interview as a learning experience.)
