Deborah, you do not mention carting. Is the wool carted before you tried spinning? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhQcadvDO0o

Here’s my knitting comment…

In the old days (100 years ago), when things were done by hand, people sang songs while they knitted, while they spun yarn, and even when they sheared the wool from the sheep for the yarn.

Here’s a shearing song from Australia:

Splash?!? Ugh. That is something that I would try to forget!

A scarf-knitter, eh? There are some very simple sweater, shawl and bag patterns out there. I would suggest that you check out the website http://www.knitty.com – if you click on ‘archives’ you can see all the previous patterns that they have published. Pick someting that is rated ‘mellow’ and give it a try!

I hate knitting too! Er, I mean I love it! Er, I don’t even know anymore! I don’t know which savvy girl I like best, but I can relate with them both! I am totally a closet knitter. Like, I knit on the subway, but if I see anyone I know I just stuff it in my knapsack and pretend I’m sleeping. My most recent project is a scarf. Actually all I know how to make are scarves, but they are good – useful and cute. Maybe you can suggest a project that is good for a scarf-knitter? That isn’t a scarf, I mean. Oh, and about the second episode? My brither in law was visiting and he left the toilet seat up and in the middle of the night got up to pee and…splash. THAt was the wackest thing that happened to me once this year. The year ott 9!

I found this by accident and listened to it, just to see what it was all about. It was witty and funny, and I enjoyed every minute of it! How did you find so many songs about knitting? I used to knit when I was younger, and still keep the needles around, just in case. I look forward to the next webisode!
