A busy spinning weekend including the great SPINNOTTS reunion

 Many years ago there was a group of spinners who would demonstrate at local events and generally spin in public whenever they got the chance. We disbanded about fourteen years ago as people moved out of the area, went away to uni or had family responsibilities. Some continued as Woolly Outlaws, others joined local guilds and some hung up their wheels.

Recently two of the ringleaders decided that it was time to hold a reunion and see if there is any interest in having social spinning get togethers.

And that is how I fond myself heading into town rather early on Saturday morning.

It was the first time that I had travelled by train for quite some time.

I took the opportunity to grab a coffee and knit a few rows before jumping on the train.

Not many more photos as I was too busy catching up with everyone but Pete (Pete's Fibre Studio ) had some amazing hand dyed fibres and yarns. I may have indulged haha

I did grab a shot of two of some of the wheels though I'm not sure how much spinning anyone managed.

The day was a great success and plans have been made for the next meeting, 

The very next day I was out and about with the local guild outreach group at Greens Windmill, not many visitors due to the fact that the mill is undergoing renovations at the moment but still not a bad way to spend the day.
