You will be fabulous! Your yarn is glorious, watching you make it would be fascinating! Muggles have no idea that people actually DO this; there is no way they would know if you are doing it *right*. Knock ‘em dead!

The nice thing about spinning in front of muggles is that they have no idea whether you’re doing it “right” or not. The spinners and fiber-types will think it’s cool that you’re doing it at all, so you should have plenty of good experiences. YAY!

I’ve done a lot of demos in my day, and lemme tell you, just the fact that you’re SPINNING is amazing to most people. In my experience, the most frequently asked question is: what do you do if it (the yarn) breaks/what do you do when you run out of the fiber in your hand? Have a snappy answer* to that, and you’ll impress the heck out of them.

*What I do in response to the break question: pull the yarn apart, cry “oh no!”, calmly rejoin and continue spinning without missing a treadle beat. Never fails to get a “Oh wow!” comment. :)

You will do great! The muggles will just be mezmarized by the spinning of the wheel. You will wow them with your spinning. If you make a mistake just call it art yarn. ;)

OMG! I’m so proud of you!!! I wish I could be there with you…I’d be a stooge in the crowd & applaud at everything you say. Don’t worry so much about it – I’m sure you’ll do GREAT. I wish I could tell you what I did to get through spraying my first client…That whole, “pretend they’re naked” thing doesn’t work when they really are.

Just remember, you know WAY more than any lay person walking by, or anyone who signs up for your workshop.

I love my sis~

Spinners are the ones you have to wow. I’ve done a few demos and mostly people just think you’re off your nut for even wanting to do something like spin yarn. Don’t worry, they’ll be impressed at the freakshow of your ‘old timey’ hobby. Watch out for the pre-pubescent boys, they’re the ones that are actually interested in the mechanics and will ask the questions. Congratulations! It’s so awesome, you’re gonna be a pro soon!

Elizabeth you’ll be just fine. If you can spin in front of a room full of spinners, you’ve won half the battle. The muggles won’t know what you’re doing, and will be mesmerized by the wheel going round and round. They’ll declare it magic, I promise!

You’ll be great – that’s why I called you! And you’ll have me as your personal barker to lure in the masses. No margaritas but we do have a beer tent on our corner.
