Yesterday was a great day.  I don't think we (as people) say that often enough.  I had a great day.  John picked me up for an outing in Santa Barbara, I met some new people, ate some food (not awesome, but that's okay) and we stopped in Solvang on the way home and I was able to visit Village Spin and Weave on Alisol.  I have been once before when I purchased a nostepinne about a year ago when I first learned how to spin.  I liked their shop, but since I was still pretty new at spinning I picked up just a few ounces of fiber and then head home to practice. I realized after a few weeks of spinning with my "CD on a stick", my fingers hurt like something awful and I needed something a little easier.  Jump forward and after reading and seeing it in action yesterday, I think I might have been doing it wrong.  As the incredibly nice woman who owns the shop says, I have good form, I think I was trying to hard.  As in - storing too much twist, spinning...
