I went on a field trip yesterday to Stone Road in Oakham. I shared lunch with my mom and dad and my uncle Len and aunt Lynn. We did some spinning on the Louet I had brought from home and the wheel at the house, a Country Craftsman. This wheel is a replica of an antique flax wheel. I was reminded that spinning and weaving are traditionally communal activities, and hope to bring that into my studio space. Would like to have a spinning area there and invite other spinners.

A reminder from our spinning teacher: "progress, not perfection."
