Mini Snaps

... the swap gift came wrapped so nicely I was going to leave it under my Christmas tree, but everyone is opening theirs! 😂😂😂 Im glad I opened mine. Collaboration between two of my fave IG people -- my secret Santa @robinfaure 🎅🏻 and maker extraordinaire @hopkinsfiberstudio. Once again, my #fiber and #harrypotter loves collide! Meet Muggle. #studiobites made of bfl, merino, bamboo, silk noil and cashmere. Thank you @robinfaure -- I love my gift!!! 😘😘😘 #dnalispins #blackknittersofinstagram #bipocspinners #fiberartist #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #hygge #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #knitstagram #spinnersofravelry #spin15aday #spin15adaystashdown #spin15adaysecretsantafiberexchange #spinnersofravelry #woolyweekend #woolstories #vincyknitter #yarnspinning #yarnspinnersofinstagram #yarnlove

... whatever you want to call it -- #crafttherapy, #stressrelief, #holistichobbying, #happyplace, #craftingjoy, #joy -- whatever ... keep doing it! ❄ Fiber: @inglenookfibers #Painted Peacock #sticklebatts. * spun on my #lendrumdt ❄ #dnalispins #nickyandmaggs #blackknittersofinstagram #bipocspinners #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #hygge #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #igspinners #knitstagram #spinnersofravelry #spin15aday #slowtextiles #slowliving #spin15adaystashdown #vincyknitter #yarnspinning #yarnspinnersofinstagram #wintercrafting #elisaandtenskeins

It's been a #plying sorta weekend resulting in a visual reminder of why patience and practice are needed. From left to right, first spindle shows the first ever full sample I made on a drop spindle. Second, my most recent #dropspindle spin but first fully plied project on a drop spindle. Next over, my first Painted Peacock #sticklebatt bump wrapped on my #Andeanply tool (from @symonangel) getting ready to be plied. ❄ The difference in consistency and yarn thickness between the first and second spindles is clear. Patience and practice did that. Keep spinning newbies!!! ❄ #dnalispins #dropspindle #goldingspindles #blackknittersofinstagram #craftsandlife #crafttherapy #fiberartist #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #happyplace #hygge #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #igknitters #suspendedspindling #newbiespinner #spinnersofravelry #spin15aday #spin15adaystashdown #woolyweekend #woolstories #vincyknitter #yarnspinning #yarnlove

... long week, rough some days, means #easysaturday. Currently watching Roma on Netflix, #yarnspinning on my Russian #supportspindle and drinking #nettletea I picked up while hanging with @tobarp And @yarnengineer a few months ago. Hope your weekend starts and is lovely for you.💜💜💜 #dnalispins #blackknittersofinstagram #bipocspinners #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #hygge #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #igknitters #igspinners # slowliving #slowtextiles #spinnersofravelry #spindling #woolyweekend #vincyknitter
