I'm experimenting with spinning them. More information on how they are made and spinnign techniques would be good. Jenny Bakriges will be teaching about these fibers in mid November at my shop but I'm being a little impatient about it all. But you know, Cotton and Flax would be good too;-) I just got some soysilk, bamboo and Karaoke in the shop. I’m experimenting with spinning them.

I started sampling one at least 3-4 months ago and got only as far as the 3rd tier as I ran into problems. After numerous times of ripping out the work, I folded and wrote the people at Interweave Press with questions of a possible mistake. This is what they wrote back: "In entrelac, it is assumed that you end every instruction by turning unless the pattern specifically says otherwise. For Scarf Style, we peppered the directions for Lady Eleanor Entrelac with a lot of extra "turns" to reinforce this element of the entrelac technique, but you won't always find the turns spelled out this explicitly in other entrelac patterns. The general rule of thumb is that you turn at the end of every entrelac row unless the instructions say you should not." Well, if anything, this will get me back on the entrelac trail. I hope you return to yours and maybe we can compare notes. MasadaSpindle Allena Hello,

If you're really wanting article submissions, I'll put on my thinking cap and see what I come up with! There are a few ideas circling around, but I too have issues with rejection, so that's probably why I haven't tried yet...
