Help!! I just applied to Google to put in ads and now, as you can see, the first thing you see when you bring up this blog is this HUGE ad - and my account isn't even "approved" yet! Anyone know how to get rid of it???

Spinning?

Because I have too many patterns stashed away both on my laptop and in person, and because I have more yarn stash than ever before in my life, so to keep myself busy (?), I've decided to try a new hobby - spinning.

I belong to a Yahoo Group called Traditional Knitting and the list Mom, Liz Lovick, is more than amenable to helping out her members with such good advice and the benefit of her expertise. I pestered the heck out of her yesterday - yes, on New Year's day - trying to decide how I should go about purchasing a drop spindle, and what were her recommendations. She very generously took the time to explain to me about various types of spindles and give me some advice on types of rovings (this may not be the correct terminology, give me a break, I'm just starting out).

There ensued a discussion of my -ugh- wool allergy.......lately I've discovered aplaca, and this sumptuous yarn has become my favourite. Liz gave me her recommendations as to what type of alpaca would be the easiest to spin for a newbie.

I just can't say enough about the invaluable advice I got yesterday, it was so good of her to take time on New Year's to help me out, it's really impressed me no end - as you can see from my going on and on!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just noticed there have been 31 visits to this pitiful little blog - to those 31 I apologize for the woeful lack of content - although they probably will never see this as they won't be returning........

We are 6 minutes from 2009 - I wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year - the whole world is in need of some prayers for peace and harmony - maybe we could contact our 'Higher Power' (whoever that may be to each) and request help for this human race. We surely do need it, now.

If anyone should happen to accidentally stumble upon this blog, please accept my apologies for the lack of content.

Some day soon I will begin to post some pictures and adventures (so-called) - I live a very quiet life here in rural Quebec.

See you soon.........
