You know when
Jul 4th, 2007 | By woolgatherer | Category: DemiarchiveYou know that you have married the right man when:
…you are struggling to bend your wheel to your will and feeling totally useless and he walks by, casually uttering just the right words “You really are very clever, you know.“
…and goes on to say, in response to your muttered “there isn’t one thing in this world that I do well” …
…”Nonsense. You’re really clever. You can turn a sheep in to knitting wool! And you made those lovely socks, they’re amazing. And you do lots of other things as well.”
I feel so much better 
Well - I have spun three good handfuls of the triple cross fleece. I filled half a bobbin, at least. It’s patchy, but overall it is improving. I keep breaking my thread, though. That’s very annoying.
This fleece spins up beautifully and is sitting there looking all golden and full of lustre. It reminds me of a polo necked jumper that I knitted from a mill cone my mother bought many (oh, so many) years ago and split between the three of us (herself, me, and my twin). It was a tweed mix, and the colour was called “Bracken.” I really liked it. So there’s no wonder that I like this.
However. I should return to the Jacob. I really want to knit up those first three balls, and I need some more to add to it.
It was a beautiful evening, I should have been out walking or cycling not sitting inside spinning. But I do need to conquer this thing and find out if sheep, Hebbie, and I are compatible.
I agree with Mr L
