My wheel and I have a standing date practically every evening after dinner. Sometimes I meet my wheel for breakfast or lunch (sometimes breakfast and lunch). We meet occassionally for tea, too (I always have tea; the wheel seems to prefer oil). I know we are in the first fresh moments of our new relationship, but a couple nights ago we had our first argument.I have been enjoying our companionable silence as we worked together to produce this yarn 
so when my wheel started vocalizing (and continued to vocalize) it started to get on my nerves. First I “served” it oil, then I loosened its bolts, then I tightened its bolts. Still it wouldn’t shut up! So, I gave up spinning (*sheesh*), and really started to focus my attention. Seems the wheel has not forgiven me for driving the crank in too far. Turns out the crank was rubbing against the wheel support. I sanded the area to try to create more room for the crank and reapplied danish oil. Seems to have done the trick - for now at least. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Here is the fruit of my (our) recent productivity:
This is an alpaca/wool/angora blend I picked up at a spin in a couple of weeks ago. It’s all Maine fiber and so soft. My wheel is very efficient (and I’m such a beginner) that I spun it on the “slow” setting with a moderate bobbin tension to control the twist and the rate the singles wound onto the bobbin. I then tried out the navajo ply technique a member of my spinning group showed me to get a nice three-ply yarn. I love this yarn because it reminds me of the colors of my environment, and it is so soft. Of course I wish I had purchased more than a meager 6oz. I hope that by this evening the skein has dried and I can swatch a bit of it!
This is a wool/mohair (?) blend that I picked up a while ago when I thought I would be satisfied with spinning on a drop spindle (*giggle* as if!!). I love the color. It’s not as soft as the alpaca blend, but it has a beautiful sheen. I’m in love with it and already have a project planned. I’ll be swatching and designing my pattern as soon as it dries.
