Spinning List

Let's see what I've done and not done.  There's been a knitting list kicking around for a while in some way, shape or form.  The general idea for that is that you put in bold is what you've done and  in italics what you plan or want to do. I'm going to do the same for this.  If anyone has anything to add feel free to comment.
