Where to start? Well, first off, it was AWESOME! For me the thing I enjoyed most about it was not necessarily the techniques that she taught &#8211; which were great of course &#8211; but more about looking at spinning in different ways, thinking about how to spin in different ways. Lexi was delightful and our time with her seems over far to quickly. We are definitely going to have to invite her back!<\/p>\n<p>I also very much enjoyed the company of the camp members as well. We had a lot of fun and it was great to meet many that I have only known by name. Special mention of course must go to the theatre company that presented an adaptation of Cinderella. Unfortunately both the cameras are still in Wellington so this is going to be a &#8216;words&#8217; post rather than a graphical feast, the photos will follow later this week.<\/p>\n<p>It was also nice to be able to share the new wheel with the camp. We had an opportunity for free time to try it that several people took up. There is still tweaking and development going on as we work to making it as perfect as possible.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, congratulations to Nicole who won a Majacraft spinning wheel with our spot prize. She is going to university this week so having a wheel to take with her during her studies is likely to be a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Bye for now.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Hi Ravelry reader, you have found me again. As I mentioned in the post we did ask the camp members to not post photos of the wheel as yet. It is about 95% done and we will show photos when the production components start coming through. We thought it better to show the production wheel prototypes as people might say 'oooh yuck, I don't want something that looks like that'. Prototypes are better to show after something is produced as (for me) seeing the roots\/source is always very interesting. I have very much enjoyed the treasure hunt game and we are not at all upset that photos did get posted. We took a chance by taking it to Japan and it was nice that the game lasted as long as it did. Here is another quick hint - read 'Spinnuts' published by Spinhouse Ponta... I think I did not explain myself clearly during the camp that we requested no photos however people were free to TALK\/WRITE about it if they wished. We are after all not complete ogres here :-) Also, we have a very promising name selected for it. -->Andy<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning\/afternoon\/evening to all, I have arrived back at Majacraft after a fantastic weekend at Lexi&#8217;s camp, exhausted but brimming with ideas.
