This was my Christmas present to myself- a 28g banded oak burr spindle made by IST Crafts. It spins really well and is beautifully made. The tuft of fibre is some really soft I've been spinning in a sort of longdraw style for fluffiness.
Yarn I spun on the spindle Brown made for me. Wool, 128 yards, 2.25 oz.
Has a bit more yellow and purple than shows here. Will probably be a small pair of fingerless gloves.
This small, and mostly inconspicuous, tree or shrub produces bright reddish-pink, lobed, poisonous fruits in the autumn. The fruit capsules eventually split open to reveal a bright orange seed.

Russian spindle weighing 32g. Pretty sure this isn't holly as described - I think instead it's maple as there's some evidence of birds eye.
Day 45~
Reflecting on the incredible PATIENCE needed to spin wool. I am taking a class to learn all about the topic and last night we made our own hand spindles, carded some wool and tried our hand at spinning yarn.
UPDATE! Now available on Etsy at: www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9589505
I love this. I'm trying to decide if I think I can sell them on etsy. I LOVE it.....it's my new favorite spindle but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who would want one.

§P¡NdLe is a [project|object] that [combines|confuses] skateboarding with music. The [movement/acceleration] of the skateboard is being transformed into sound synthesis. The sound engine is designed to be both, trivial and non-trivial. The [trivial|direct] translation acts as an additional channel to your mind-body coordination while the non-trivial aspect is there to provide the skateboard with a [memory|internal states] of your ride. It will add up to a climax as long as the movement of the skateboard does not contain too much noise.
