I am participating in the CJ Kopec Nov\/Dec Put Your Own Twist on It <\/a>Spin A Long (SAL) and I’m super excited.\u00a0 Since I’ve been spinning for over a year now, I’m getting to the point that I can spin a consistent thickness.\u00a0 It’s not quite as thin as I’d like it yet, but it’s getting there.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And now for a word from my resident “helper monkey”:<\/p>\n

“Every picture is better with ME in it, right Mom?”<\/p>\n
