Here are step-by-step instructions and illustrations that explain how to make yarn from scratch using handspindles--simple tools used to turn wool into yarn. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. This manual also includes complete instructions for five simple, appealing projects: a woven sleeve, a knitted bunny bag, a knitted baby hat, knitted fingerless mittens, and a crocheted hat.

I have done an awful job of following my #BookSpin lists thus far in 2023. We'll see if May is any different!

Singout Birds Art Life is brilliant, as well as being (almost) set in my neighbourhood. 1y
TheKidUpstairs @Singout it's been sitting on my TBR shelf for ages! As a former Torontonian, I'm a sucker for anything set in the city! 1y

My September #bookspin is for #YABuddyRead - We Are Not From Here, and #doublespin is for #thatsclassic - Murder on the Orient Express. And I finished my rollover read from the end of August, so I actually get to check one off on the first day!

The latest hastily assembled #BookSpin list for June! Doesn't look like I'll get a Bingo for May, too many library library holds came in and mixed up my reading plans 😂 But I did read my #BookSpin selection, so that's something!

@TheAromaofBooks

marleed Sometimes one must support their library:) My library queue for bright shiny new library holds in June is insane. I realized I had to relieve myself from the pressure of a bingo for June and just have fun negotiating my holds for a month. I‘ll be lucky to read my DS and BS in June. 3y
TheKidUpstairs @marleed all the library holds seem to pour in at once, don't they? Is there a title you're most looking forward to reading off your holds list? 3y
marleed Oh I just made a request for purchase (I do that often and they oblige about 98% of the time!) for Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch because - that title! About to drop is this book that I‘m just giddy to read 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! And I know the feeling on the holds. Lately I've been reserving a few slots on my BookSpin list for library holds!!! 3y

I wasn't going to play this month, but with two bingos in a row I need to see if I can keep the streak alive! So here's my hastily assembled list, before I check out Sarah's posts to see this month's numbers!

#BookSpin May @TheAromaofBooks

Ruthiella Good luck with continuing your winning streak! 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3y

My May #BookSpinBingo board is already underway with my first finished read for the month - "Citizen: An American Lyric" by Claudia Rankine, a poignant collection of thought-provoking essays and poems on microaggressions, racial identity, and belonging.

It's nice to see my number of current reads dwindling and becoming more manageable... but I still wish I could simultaneously read 8 books at a time!

@Hooked_on_books @TheAromaofBooks

Hooked_on_books Good looking bingo board! 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3y
Librariana @Hooked_on_books - Thanks, Holly 😊 I need to get my act together a little bit better and go back to following in your fabulous footsteps with a live bingo board 😁 Thank you for tagging me in those posts, by the way! Always look forward to seeing yours for each month. 3y
Librariana @TheAromaofBooks - 😊 Thank you for all you do in organizing this for us, Sarah! 3y
Hooked_on_books I‘ll confess. I do the live board because I‘ve tried to make these graphics and they just look awful! I don‘t know how others (like you) make them look so good! So I found a creative way to be analog despite my failing. 😂 (edited) 3y

Here‘s my living bingo board for May #bookspinbingo! My bookspin is The Lost Apothecary, which I wanted to start soon anyway, and my doublespin is Mother Earth, my #Kyrgyzstan book for #ReadingAsia2021. Perfect! I‘m very excited to start tackling this month‘s reading.

Librariana Oh, I've been curious about The Lost Apothecary myself! Looking forward to your reviews 😊💜📚 Yay!! 3y
TheBookHippie Mr Book Hippies best friend lives in Kyrgyzstan. The people are amazing. Special place in my heart for the students there 🤍 3y
squirrelbrain I can just about see (if I squint!) that Mother Earth is the same Kyrgyz author as the book I read - hopefully you will enjoy! 3y

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain It is indeed the same author! Though in the English language, I‘m guessing it‘s an uncrowded field from that country. 😬 3y
Hooked_on_books @TheBookHippie That‘s fascinating! So unusual to know someone there. I‘m not even sure I can pronounce it properly! 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Looking great!!! 3y

I have finally put together my stacks for #bookspinbingo! I can‘t wait for the numbers to be drawn.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3y
Librariana Oh, I can't wait to hear what you think of "Pride"! ? I just finished a P&P retelling myself! "Pride and Premeditation". It was a clever little murder mystery ?️‍♀️ 3y
vivastory The Trespasser is one of my faves in DMS 3y

Hooked_on_books @Librariana I‘m guessing it‘s fabulous, as I have high expectations and respect for Zoboi. I‘ll tag you in my review! 3y
Hooked_on_books @vivastory I‘ve really liked the Tana French books I‘ve read, but for some reason I still haven‘t read all her backlist, including some titles I‘ve had for years. I really don‘t know why. 3y
vivastory I've read the DMS, but haven't read any that she's pub since. Plan on reading The Witch Elm soon. Too many books, too little time! 3y

February was a great reading month, but totally unplanned. I didn't read a thing for #BookSpin or for #foodandlit. But I'm still playing in March! I left some things a bit more open ended, and I included two books I'm deciding between for #LMPBC in hopes that the spin will make my decisions for me!
@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Some months you just have to go off-script!! 3y
