Advice on Spinning

[Mary Thompson]

Hello, Ladies, because I am heavily pregnant, the rest of my family are away so they don't have to be present during the birth, as you know idle hands are the Devil's work, so I was looking for some new hobbies that will benefit the family, Miss MitzaLator gave me the idea that I could start spinning, I liked the idea and found my old spinning wheel which I have never even used, I have done some research on how to spin but you have any advice on how to do it best? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Yours In Christ,
Mary Thompson.

Dear Mary,

I think that spinning is a marvelous idea! If you find the spinning wheel too complicated (as I do), may I recommend hand spinning? It does take longer, but it is much more practical: you can take the spindle with you everywhere (e.g., continue spinning when you visit another Christian woman - all that chat and no work is so ungodly), and you can easily switch from "S" to "Z" twist if necessary.

Here is a picture of a woman using hand spindle:

Re: Advice on Spinning

I always come to the site and check the 'new posts' section, so sometimes I wind up in 'the Prayer Shack for Women' without even thinking. When I read Sister Mary's original post I was shocked and thought that the Devil had actually entered her body, as he did in the case of Judas, and was sending her into a life of rebellious nigra music....while pregnant no less...Thank God this was not the case but please be careful, you don't want your unborn child to be cursed!

The internet does have many ungodly things, but then on the other hand, some good. There are several helpful looking videos - one

Re: Advice on Spinning

Oh sister, I am glad to hear that you are spinning yarn! What a Holy treat for your family.

Sadly,the first thing that came to mind was these awful-looking fornication machines found at what seculars call "health clubs." Why anyone would need to go to a club to have health, when the Lord provides us with all the health we need is beyond me. (Jeremiah 33:6)

It amazes me, why anyone would PAY to ride a bike that doesn't go anywhere ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I do actually have a bicycle and ride to the shops.

It keeps me healthy I think. Unless they want to ogle one another in which case just go and hang around the nearest Italian motorcycle showroom there's usually plenty of perverts there, especially at night. That's free too. If anyone's got too much money though, why not commence a tithing plan? There's a suitable button around somewhere, not that I'd expect the heathen to be able to find it in which case just pm Rev'd Jim Osborne or Pastor Ezekiel and I'm sure they'll direct you as appropriate.

Thank you for posting the Jeremiah, I've just read of the chapter (v.8 was particularly reassuring) it is most appropriate and I think I'll read the whole book now with my coffee to remind myself just how much God Hates Sin.

I agree!

Same here. Snow has FINALLY melted in Michigan, so I ride my bike everywhere. (I know crazy people who keep riding during winter months, but I'm not suicidal).

Ouch, I know what you mean During my recent trip to Hawaii I had the very bright idea to ride a bicycle to the top of a volcano... Wow, I cannot even imagine doing that with bag of groceries! (Michigan is boringly flat, so I don't have much of up/down riding here, except for a few occasional moraines and eskers. No real mountains, though).

You know who advocates "spinning?" Filthy lezbeans and witches, that's who!

Re: Advice on Spinning

I was going to post a photo that I saw of a perverted bicycle sex machine but I decided that it was too racy for this forum. Suffice to say that women should not ride bicycles.

Sir, did you see the horrid picture I found of women riding these fornication machines, above? I'm still very upset with the image.

It was worse than that.

No, no, that is not the spinning I meant, that Satan-inspired nigra music has nothing to do with it, and I pray the Devil does not enter me.

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you cleared that up, Mrs. Thompson! I was so confused as to why spinning could be bad, but I didn't really want to question Pastor Ezekiel, so I didn't say a word. I completely forgot that was a tyoe of....well, not music really, but ha. The only thing that comes to mind really is, well, actually spinning. I feel silly!
Mrs. Thompson, if you ever for whatever reason find yourself in North Cypress, come and see me! We'll tend babies and do a crafty day! Make some clothes for all the twins! Maybe John can take Mr Thompson bowling or hunting.

Silly me, I did not mean to say music, forgive me, I didn't know any other word I could use to describe it, apoligies for the misunderstanding, for only songs relating to Jesus can really be called music.
If I ever bump into your area somehow, I'll be sure to visit! Spinning is actually really fun (Godly fun that is), I enjoy being resourceful and recommend it .

As if in response to your post New Zealand (where that pedal-spinning-wheel in the linked video was made) introduces sodomist weddings for all sexes including a comment that if it's now OK for 2 women to get married, why not 3 women? and the spokes"person" replied that there was no reason. I will not be reading their act of patliament to check the wording.

However perhaps it might be better to avoid the spinning wheel I've been rather clumsy this week and concentrate on sewing. I have a cool early model here and some nice material.

The 1888 model is better, but they're getting hard to find now (nobody wants to sell them). I've had this one all my life and learned to sew on it when I was 4, it has all the attachments and can do just about anything a modern machine will do. Some people put electric motors on them but I prefer the treadle, more control over the action. I've made a reversible baby wrap cerise on one side for a girl and electric blue (with tortoises and spots) on the otherside for a boy. There's a purple chiffon belt thing with silver threads too. Sadly the material shop has burned down. I get quite excited when choosing patterns and sewing them up, but there's another shop in the city.

This is an American sewing machine. I think it should be safe to use.

Interestingly, concerning the recent news, I still have some Falkland Islands wool here if anyone would like some, it's not ideal for hand spinning though. Not too bad mixed with a rare breed such as Jacob's sheep.
