I’ve often seen these vibrantly dyed silk hankies at fiber festivals, but never knew how to spin them. Now — thanks to a great tutorial over at Twosheep — I won’t be afraid to pick up a few next time I see them.

[...] May 17th, 2007 1) After reading about spinning silk hankies on Two Sheep and KnittySpin (via WhipUp), I was itching to leave the office. So I jumped on the train, destined for Lucy’s shop. I ran down to the Kendall Square station, and dashed toward the train sitting in the station. I slid through the closing doors, knocked my arm on the edge, and dropped my T-pass ($235/mo!). The doors closed and I watched my pass hit the yellow stripe on the platform as we pulled out of the station. “OH SHIT!” The entire car full of people looked at me. “I dropped my pass!” I got off at the next stop. I found a T staffer and begged him to call someone at Kendall Sq. When I told him it’s a “Zone 7,” he said “OhhhhNoooo” and fired up the walkie talkie. He beeped me back through the turnstile (i.e. free ride), told me not to worry, explained how he could “dig in the pit” (i.e. the tracks) between incoming trains to find it, and rode back to Kendall with me. When we arrived, an old man in a T uniform strolled up to me and handed over my Zone 7. I nearly tackled and kissed him. Seriously. Instead, I think I’ll bring cookies to his booth tomorrow. [...]
