In which I talk about the relaxing and meditative aspects of spinning, do some fibre preparation and sampling, go over lopi for Level 4, make a bit of progress on knitting projects but no finishes yet, am making pretty poor fabric on the Autoknitter, and make some progress on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!

Relaxing
Fibre Week
