It Is What It Is

I've decided that I'm not really interested in the acceptable standards of spinning and other fiber arts.
I love what I'm doing and how it makes me feel, so I don't really care if it's right or wrong.
It just is and I love it.
 When I first started spinning I fought the spinning wheel in an effort to make "perfect yarn".
The more I spin, the less I fight it, and now have developed a flow that keeps me in a state of ZEN.
 This little basket or "hat for Jack", is a combo of spun wool and textile strips.
I managed to get a balanced twist, but the overall look is a bit uneven.
Jack hates the camera, so his photo is blurred since he was on his way out of the room as I took it.
 A quick peek at my finished scarf that I was knitting.
It's actually prettier in person.
The color combination and texture of the fiber is quite lovely.
I'm off to card some wool.
Have a great day!
