You know you have a blog called PianoKnits when ...


... you're playing the piano part of Schubert's "Gretchen am Spinnrade" and you start wondering how the heck anyone could knit with any fibre spun like that!! And I'm not even a spinner. Yet. (Feel free to convert me.)

Thanks to Non Sequiturville for putting me on to this great image.

Love the photo. I haven't tried spinning yet either. I'm afraid I'd develope a roving stash and I just can't have another stash yet!

I learned to spin when I was younger and it was so much work back then as you had to prepare all the fiber. I know it is different right now...but I just don't have time for another interest. Maybe though...

I didn't realize you were a performer. I was so disappointed by the behavior of many people at the play. A total lack of respect. It was very sad. And the look--on the Phantom's face when a cell phone went off--playing the Police. I was so upset for the actor. Sigh.

I don't know... Gretchen am Spinnrade could make for some very interesting 'texture'.... apart from cramps in the wrists of the pianist :-)
