I keep forgetting to check the blog :( I love your tutorials. The ones on hand carding and fiber blending, in particular, have helped me tremendously. Something I would like to see at some point would be an article discussing the different types of drop spindles. I would be interested in the article. I keep forgetting to check the blog :(

I used a 50% colored merino and 50% angora. I spun it up to about a light sport or fingering weight. Somewhere around 15-18 wpi. I used size 11 needles. It probably took about 5-8 hours. I wish I had made it a bit larger for myself, but it is perfect for my daughter to wear, and it looks nice on me, too, but could be a bit larger. It is so hard to tell if it's big enough, because it stretches so much when you block. Ah well.</p> Toni,

As to the web-based business, I think it would be a very positive move to begin discussing this subject for many people and how to avoid the pitfalls. There might be a handful or more that would be very interested in this topic and the information that is produced from its discussion. I view this as a positive move on your part to bring it to our attention. Those that are not interested will just pass over it, or not. Good luck.

Well done. Not sure about the web-article argument - I can see both sides but I don't think it's too far off topic. I know I would be interested to read it! The shawl looks gorgeous! Well done.
