So Happy!

I finally got control of my old domain name, forestmeditation.net!!! Took me over a year. Yay! Now it works seamlessly with forestmeditatin.com. I’d suggest that if anyone wants to get a domain name, don’t get it free with a hosting package. There’s no guarantee that they will release the domain to you if you decide to change hosting company. Ask them first before you commit. It’s better if you register it yourself with a registrar like NetworkSolutions or Register.com. I use MyDomain.com. You would be listed as the registrant instead of the hosting company. I learned my lessons!

I also started spinning again! Last time I touched the wheel was at the Bulky Singles Club Class in April. I decided to take the wheel to the guild meeting on Saturday. Had a bit of an embarrassing moment setting up the wheel. :oops: But I was able to find the rhythm eventually.

No particular project for this yarn. The goal is to get the feel of spinning back, and to try to get a 3-ply worsted weight yarn. This is a practice spin for the sparkly denim Merino. :-) I am using Ashland Bay’s Multi Dark Green Colonial Wool Top that I got when I first started spinning with a drop spindle. They call it dark green, but there’s very little green in it. Here’s a close-up photo with some unspun fiber to show you the colors.

    Oh I want a wheel but were I to get one I’d never leave my room.

    Thank God you finally got your domain name! Your spinning is looking really good now that you are back in the saddle. You don’t have to have a project in mind at this stage. Once you have the finished yarn it will be fun to experiment with possible projects! Really good work!
