The Dungeon : Spinning Support Group

We have an a bunch of very talented spinners in our group! There has been lots of talk about ratios, how to count wraps per inch, how to spin fine, and lacing the flyer. We have an abundance of Kromski wheel owners and pics of these have been shared. The very first post in the group thread has many helpful links and a video that our spinners have found helpful.

This post is likely to be very picture intense.. please bare with me!

CherrySprinkle shared some photos of her handspuns, projects she made from her handspun, and her wheels - a Kromski Symphony, a Kromski Sonata, and an antique 1880-1890 CPW (Canadian Production Wheel).

April 2012 : Bunnicula

The month of April we paid tribute to the bunny. We were to craft a bunny, food, work with angora, or make something for children and/or inspired by children's books. We had a short turn-out this month as everyone was celebrating the holiday with their families and cooking and baking took on a major part of our lives.. but never the less, here's a recap of the month of April.

CherrySprinkle kicked us off with a cute cross-stitch that has left everyone craving carrot cake.



intallcotton made a stunning lacy cowl inspired by Alice in Wonderland.


phantasmagoria shared her adorable little felted rabid bunny!


Congratulations to CherrySprinkle who won the prize drawing for the month of April!
