Learn to Spin gift from Dawning Dreams


I am quite excited about this weekend! Several phatties will be traveling here to spin, knit, eat and play together this weekend! Dawn from Dawning dreams is one of those phatties! Dawn and I have met a couple of times before and that woman is as sweet as pumpkin pie! Just look at this spinning starter set she's sent in for a giveaway! A beautiful but easy to spin batt and spindle!

I love just about everything in Dawn's shop and I hope she brings a few things to unload this weekend- wink wink! Maybe you all should pick some things out for yourselves so I'm not so tempted ;)

Please visit DawningDreams, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll award you extra points by using your mad social networking skillz and helping spread the good word about the shop! Drawing will be held on Friday so act quickly!

    I love Blackberry Iris! It would be great to win a learn to spin kit. I have a friend that I am trying to draw into spinning. That would be the perfect starter set for her.

    Those project bags are amazing! Love the blue and brown flowers. Definitely appealing to the scrapbooker lurking in my soul.

    The Enchanted Mist is also gorgeous, I cannot lie :)

    I was just looking at Dawn's etsy shop last night, as I ponder my next project! I'm really looking forward to trying the superwash batts sometime - the Ginger Mead would make wonderful socks and is such an unusual color! Socks are my knitting passion and spinning the yarn for them is just a joy!

    I am a wannabe spinner currently fighting off the inevitable. When I finish my Holiday projects, I'm definitely going to explore spinning. I love the BLUE MOON and VINEY batts.

    Oh wow... this store may just break my newly imposed yarn diet. I must admit both the lace yarns are just beautiful. Drink Me is just great! I'm sad to see she doesn't have the pattern to go with it in the store at the moment or I'd be in real trouble. ;)

    Sounds like weekend that could be potentially dangerous to the budget. If I were going to be there I'd want Dawn to bring me some LEMON LIME LATE NIGHT Sock/Fingering yarn 400 yards!

    I love all the colors, but my favorite of those listed is the "Cherry Blossom".

    Just what I need, another addiction of fibery goodness! The spindle would be easier to hide than a spinning wheel however.

    I had a terrible shock when I went to Dawning Dreams shop this morning and it was closed. OH NO! Then I read it was because Dawn is visiting Jessie. OH YAY! Hope you both have a great time. I dug into the past sales and found this Opal Gemstone Whorled Drop Spindle. Truly lovely.
