Rumplestiltskin
I'm a total Lost freak, but I'm also a TIVO freak, and I can't start watching it until I've calculated out all the commercials (about 30 minutes into the program).
A lot can happen in 30 minutes.
I admit I haven't been doing as many normal fiber arts as I usually do (I've been working on a painting that's been eating cloth, modpodge, and paint), but I felt an itch to spin some yarn while I waited to watch my Secret Boyfriend Hurley on teevee.
I have a Louet S15, single treadle wheel. It's sturdy, but plain, doesn't require much maintenance - and my cats love it more than they love stray bits of yarn. I spun a fairly consistent single, and since i tend to add a lot of twist, i think it would work best with a ply (anyone know the andean ply method? it baffles me).
I really like sitting in front of the teevee, my hands moving without me having to tell them what to do, and my right foot steadily pressing down on the treadle. I feel small, doing something that so many people have done before me.
I will knit something small with what I created. Wool is pretty. Spinning is fun. I recommend it.
And it was a really good episode of Lost.
