Support Spinning

At Gloria's 'knit in' last Monday Judith demonstrated support spinning which she had just learnt at a workshop held in Alberta a few days before. The Russian born teacher actually makes the 'support spinners' (equipment not people!). They produce very fine yarn, yards and yards. I am sure Judith would tell you all about them.
There was not a lot of knitting produced that day, instead we took a walk outside and visited this years Angora kids, Highland Cattle and chicks. As well as the animals Gloria spends a lot of time in her beautiful garden which is just really springing into life.
