More Excuses, and Bonus Whining!
Well so, still no regular blog posts. Part of this is because I don’t have much to say that is relevant or interesting to this audience. I haven’t had any knitting or spinning or dreaming time. I have three sick kids, and one is a baby who has to be on me all day, and all night too.
He’s getting better, and now he has to have a couple of shots and has a new tooth coming in. So not much time for knitting or spinning right now.
I am working on the next issue though, and I expect to be able to publish from the 15 to the end of the month. I hope to get on schedule and still publish again in March but I don’t know if I can manage that or not. At this point it’s hard to establish the difference between legitimate concerns and black sliding. One thought I had was to do two slightly smaller issues. Usually I write about 12 - 15 articles, plus any submissions or interesting things I come across. So maybe I’ll shoot for about 8 each issue, and the additional submissions. I think I could manage that better. Do any of you have feature article preferences? I like fiber spot light, somthing fun, life’s fun, and product/book reviews the best. Which are your favorites?
So for now, so long, sorry about the bad blogger situation, and I hope all of you are having a good Feb so far…

Sorry your kids are unwell, they are so very much more important than blog posts or publishing Spindle & Wheel on time.
I like lots of stuff about S&W so will be happy to read whatever you put up - when you are ready :>)

I like the fiber spotlight and the product/book reviews. Actually, I like it all. I’m sure people will be happy with whatever you come up with!
And Lesley is right. Focus on getting your babies well before you worry about S&W. We understand!

I like hearing about everything, not just knitting or spinning stuff. And an issue with 8 articles plus submissions would be plenty long. I only have one baby and can’t imagine how you manage to do as much as you do. I hope they all feel better soon.

I hope everyone there is feeling a lot better soon!
And, like others have said, I’ll be happy to read whatever you publish.

I think we would all be happy even if the issues have fewer articles. I’m too new at all these fiber arts to contribute an article, but Sharon over at the In Stitches blog has been doing some wonderful swatching and fulling experiments with different types of wool to see how they compare. I would be interested in her results in article form!

Get well soon, all of you!
I particularly like the fiber spotlight. Don’t stress yourself over having “not enough” articles — 8 seems like many!
