Oh, and--I've been wheel-spinning for 13 years, and you have more spindle spinning done on just one of those than I've ever managed to accomplish. Well done!AlisonHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855515409382287056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21500756.post-82176986654683229282007-02-27T04:04:00.000-05:002007-02-27T04:04:00.000-05:00I think your spinning looks really good - and I'm ...I think your spinning looks really good - and I'm absolutely sure that you'll be buying a wheel in no time!

I'm so impressed - I don't even dare to try. <BR/><BR/>PS: Here's a link to crimping tips: http://www.bead-co.com/crimping_instructions.htm Just ignore the stuff about the crimping tool. You can do the same thing with some small flat nosed pliers, just squish the crimp flat.Tarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728631351157691920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21500756.post-56983831244540293122007-02-25T09:29:00.000-05:002007-02-25T09:29:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh!

Unfortunately I didn't get to attend. I've contacted them to see if they are going to be doing any drop spindle classes again and she said their spring classes will be listed in the next couple of weeks. I am thinking that I want to take the course this time around and try my hand and the drop spindle and see how that goes...congrats on sticking to your spinning - it's coming along great!Shelley L.
