Woot, ordered hand carders and joined the local guild!
I am excited! I ordered some hand carders and wool from The Woolery and also joined the Anchorage Spinners and Weavers Guild!
I ordered the Hand Carding Kit that comes with 1 set of oil finished 8" wool carders 72 TPI, 2lbs of raw fleece, and the BOOK "Ashford Book of Carding".
I also ordered some I saw on clearance, 2 pound Batt of Tunis / Shetland wool!
While my fiber Art Studio Kickstarter Campaign is going nowhere, I am getting there bit by bit!
We can rent equipment from the local guild, so I will be able to rent one by the end of the month I think! :p So I can practice and by the time I can afford my own I will be able to spin good yarn!
I really hope the kickstarter takes off but all I get is the "marketing" people and I am not interested in that… so think it will fail but at least I got some good practice for it. All that means is that the Attu Series will cost a lot more :p Plus I dont mind keeping them to myself if it comes to that!
One thing I can do it break it down into smaller pieces even! I can try one for $800 for the spinning wheel alone and hopefully find one locally that is used and cheap! hehe… but who knows, maybe everyone is waiting until the last moment :p 8 more days of nerves and hopes and sighs! :p
I love being a dreamer and picturing things coming easy but am used to working hard for it, so it is win win for me. I think as long as you are realistic and practical it is really good to dream! I think it is partly why I write!
I hope you are going for your dreams! It will take time and hard work but so so so worth it!
hugs and love,
