Spinzilla

As you learn to spin, you find yourself hoping you'll speed up, that you'll become more consistent, and if you want to progress with this skill, you look for challenges. And oh boy have I found a challenge!

Spinzilla is an international annual challenge where teams of spinners see if they can spin against others to spin further, faster, and in more unusual settings. It's done to raise money for the needle arts association mentor ship programme. As well as spinning as part of a team, you can be a rogue spinner and that's what I'm doing.

I'm combining this with the remains of the fluffy fleece to try to get it finished. So, each evening after work I settle down to spin, spin, spin. I want to spin at least one mile (1760 yards) and I'm hoping for more than that. To see how I do, come back to this blog or look up the Knatters knits group on Ravelry.
