@muz - in german language.

#DailySpindle This is a spindle I made from "Baumarkt" materials that have cost maybe 2 Euros. It's a toywheel and a wooden stick and a cuphook that I bent to make the spindle spin better.

The shaft is really long, I used to make super long spindles but today I prefer a bit shorter sticks. Maybe I will shorten it soon. I painted a triskele on it with cheap paints.

It spins very very well and I really love it.

#dailySpindle
the first one is made from (I think) plum tree (whorl) and bamboo (shaft). I got it from a ravelry user named Kiki. Her granddad turned it (clearly inspired by Bosworth spindles). it was in 2009, when only few spindlecrafters existed in germany and they could not meet the demand, at all.

She is an optician and made the hook from the stuff she makes glasses with. Great hook! Very few of those exist. I was super lucky to get one.

tbh I just wanted to test out the new poll feature! :D
It looks nice so far!

I'm indeed going to show you ALL THE spindles, but I won't spam you, I'll do it like this: I will try to post a "daily spindle" and tell the story of one of them per day.

and I'll tag it #dailyspindle if you want to mute it.

if anyone wants to join the hashtag: feel very welcome.

would you like a thread where I show you every spindle I have?

lately I #konmari d my #spindles (with the result that I kind of love them all) and this is my #cat who threw herself in the middle of the spindle-circle and started to roll around.

I'm missing my #knitting group tonight, because I worked longer than expected and tomorrow I have to work early again, and I have to do some stuff at home, too.

but if all goes well, I will go on my first cycling tour on friday and saturday! I don't know where I'm going yet..

I'm watching this video about dressing a distaff and the guy's italian accent is soooooOOOOoooo nice. ok I'll try to watch it now!

I have a bag of salt, written on it is "Sale Marino" (sea salt in italian) but everytime I see this I read "Sale Merino" 🐏

#AprilArtJourney I decided to add some more fountain pen scribbly lines and circles and now I really love it!

#AprilArtJourney this is an fountain pen + watercolor sketch of my tea glass. It's a bit stained from black #tea and it has a bicycle-chain heart on it.

hm. lets call that the Ace of Cups #tarot

weirder earth is doing weird stuff right now, lets see what happens next!

todays #AprilArtJourney card is "2 of swords" http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/project/4/02_swords.shtml
