Shaun, you're cracking me right up. And yes, that's exactly how I feel about the name, too. Jennie is a practical sort, who isn't afraid to think for herself.

I love the name Jennie for your wheel -- very evocative. If you were writing a novel in the eighteenth century and you had a hard-working, earthy, free-spirited, somewhat lusty single young woman character, you'd name her Jenny. Jenny would never be the foundling who discovers she's an heiress -- she'd be the frank and rustic barmaid even after the novel ends.<BR/><BR/>Don't you think that sounds

I've always wanted to learn to spin. Awesome!

Now how cool is that? I have a hard time picturing myself spinning, but I can picture myself before a nice large loom. I'm thinking I should start with a small table loom, but I want to start with a big one that takes up my whole front room.<BR/><BR/>I'm a little overeager that way.

I think your yarn looks really interesting -- I would love to knit some of it.

Good lord, another thing to be jealous of you for! I've always wanted a spinning wheel, but couldn't afford it and couldn't fit it anywhere in the house. I have a drop spindle, but never got the hang of it.<BR/><BR/>Those skeins look wonderful. Any machine can spin perfectly even yarn. Yours are better.<BR/><BR/>PS: I named my Mac Mini "Juliette"...so you're not alone in that.

V. cool. I have a Hitchhiker but I haven't spun for ages, and not just because the kid of mine keeps hijacking it. Must Get More Bobbins. :-)<BR/><BR/>In my experience even oddly spun and plied yarn mostly knits up just fine, BTW.

I'm going to drive past your house at all hours now hoping to catch you on the porch spinning. Your skeins look beautiful.
