Spinning on Whidbey Island the 1st of April


What an exciting weekend we had at the annual Whidbey Island Spin-In! Not only was this my first time at the event but I was also a vendor (and boy was I nervous!). Fortunately, I had my fiberholic friend, Linda Two Sleeves (aka Linda Jacobs) with me to calm my nerves. We commuted from Kingston to Oak Harbor each day - less than 60 miles but a ferry boat ride in between so we were up and running muy temprano! Of course, our husbands think we are nothing less than nuts to get up at 5 a.m. to go SPIN -- they just don't get it. Two days in a gymnasium filled with other spinners... AND Judith MacKenzie McCuin. Well, it just doesn't get much better than that! Well, actually it does!! Day 3 of Marathon Spinning... Eve and I were up at dawn. We had a glazed look about us from lack of sleep but the adrenaline was pumping... we're off to Whidbey again for a Plying workshop with Judith MacKenzie! Frank, my husband, still doesn't get it "didn't you spin enough in two days?" Enough spinning? Is that possible? Besides, this isn't just spinning, this is "Plying" with Judith! Frank just shook his head... Eve and I loaded our wheels in the truck and sped off to pick up Linda and catch a ferry boat ... and ply. It was great!
