FroggyMonkey:
Everything I've had 3d printed at my local library. 1 Schacht sheep bobbin, 1 Schacht Woolee Winder bobbin, 2 orifice reducers & 2 sheep wpi tools.
FroggyMonkey:
Still making time each day, no matter how tired or sore from house stuff. Usually I listen to a chapter & D is watching Silicon Valley.
FroggyMonkey:
My wild & crazy Friday night. Testing my new 3D bobbin I had printed at our local library. It wasn't a perfect fit, so I dusted off the Dremel. Besides being a little noisier than my other bobbins, it works really well. #3dprinting #spinning

FroggyMonkey:
Some practice fiber. Feels much better spinning on it now. Maybe the past month of using the Sidekick has me in the spinning zone.
FroggyMonkey:
I have 15 minutes before I need to start dinner, but I don't think she's going to give up the wheel.
FroggyMonkey:
Wiping down my Matchless. I want to use it again. I never feel in love with it like I did the Ladybug or Sidekick.
FroggyMonkey:
Finished the third bobbin!!!
FroggyMonkey:
I spun everyday in July & now August is off to a good start! Trying to squeeze in a few minutes after painting, shower & cleaning kitchen before making dinner and this headache takes over.
FroggyMonkey:
Spinning kitty.

FroggyMonkey:
My view while D changes out a light fixture. If I have to wait, might as well spin.
FroggyMonkey:
Tonight's spinning. Started third bobbin last night.
FroggyMonkey:
I found this 4 pack of tweezers from Dollar Tree today. They're between 4.5" and 5", so should be good for cleaning fluff out of wheels.
FroggyMonkey:
Finished my first bobbin in over a year last night! My hands ached from caulking all day & then borrowing my dad's zero turn mower (ours broke again), but I was determined to spin. Didn't knit a stitch last night though.
FroggyMonkey:
Needed some decompression time after Gussie's memorial service today.
FroggyMonkey:
Day 13! A few days have been just 15 minutes, others as much as 45. Working on bobbin 2 or 3 for a 3 ply.
FroggyMonkey:
495 yards, super light fingering. From '15 leftovers! One ply itw & one ply str spin your own socks kit that D spun.
FroggyMonkey:
Day 8. Final bobbins cleared! I was starting to think I'd never finish playing those leftovers.
FroggyMonkey:
Day 6. Total shit day, only managed a few minutes while dinner was in the oven.
FroggyMonkey:
Day 5! Only got a few minutes in tonight. It was a long day. Hope to get enough yardage for an actual project.

Day 4! We were at two different parties from 2-8, so only did 25 minutes before I was too tired tonight.
FroggyMonkey:
Day 3!
FroggyMonkey:
2nd day in a row! Cleared off another bobbin & then started on these two.
FroggyMonkey:
At least plying is just like riding a bike. Hope my hands remember how to draft. First day of TDF & I haven't spun in over a year (since the bugs in the fiber incident). Heather nudged me to unofficially participate. Really used to love spinning.
FroggyMonkey:
These bobbins have needed to be cleared since ssk '15! Totally lost my spinning enthusiasm last year. Hope to change that. I used to really enjoy spinning.
