Helping paws

I have been borrowing my friends spinning wheel while mine was being repaired.  I received a phone call telling me that mine was finally done.  But I had a little bit more to spin until the bobbin was full on Jeanne's spinning wheel.  I had to find the time to finish.

Can I do that too?

Skyler at 11 weeks old found the movement of the wheel very interesting.  For a few days he has been running behind my legs to hide after antagonizing the big girls.  Today, he ran behind my legs to watch this noise maker.  Of course he had to push my feet out of the way and put his paws in their place.

My foot fits on here too

I guess he didn't see the appeal of spinning because a few minutes later he had snuggled up behind my back on the couch.  When I got up to move a few minutes later, he was sound asleep. I guess the steady sound of the peddles pumping put him to sleep.

Helper in hiding

I was able to finish spinning the wool on to the bobbin while he slept.  Since there is only one bobbin available for this machine, my next task was to spin the wool off from the wooden bobbin and onto a plastic bobbin that I will use for making the three-ply yarn.

Finished!
