"Do You Spin?"

Yesterday, as it turns out, was International Day of Peace.



I wish I had known that yesterday.



I didn't think that I would have done anything especially different...until I read the September 21 entry from my "Never Not Knitting" calendar.



Who can argue with this wisdom? And I quote:

"Gandhi, that great man of nonviolence, maintained that every person should spin thread for 30 minutes a day. He had taken a vow to do so, and kept this vow even while in prison. Gandhi believed that the practice of quiet, structured, peaceful work would promote those same qualities in the people who did it...."

Do I spin?

Rochelle asked a simple enough question.

Welllllll....

I have books (doubles, if you want to know the truth!)


I have stash.


SURPRISE!!!!


I have accessories. The Red Hot Mama's are all about accessorizing.







I have a really cute wheel. As I recall, it runs very smoothly too.



And I really like where my Ladybug is.






I would love to have the qualities that Gandhi spoke of.

"...kept this vow even while in prison..."!?!?!?!

Well, I wouldn't exactly call this a prison. So....

WHY NOT?!?!?!

Tuesdays are for spinning you know.

We have to find a teacher for spinning to come to Pick Up Sticks or we can start a new knitting trend - knit with not pretty yarn, or knit with something vaguely resembling yarn.

I have had months go by without spinning. Lately I spin every day even if it is for short periods of time. You'll get your spinning mojo.
