I'M SPINNING!
Finally, after literally years of wanting to learn to spin, I'm doing it! I have a drop spindle my stepdad made for me, and I've already blown through my first batch of wool roving. (I just got a pound of wool in the mail today . . . I've already spun up two ounces of it.) I'm now wearing my very first item made out of handspun yarn, a really cute (and warm!) hat.
And, oddly enough, it took spinning to finally get me addicted to Ravelry . . . I've had my account for a long time, but now I can take advantage of all the great spinning forums! Maybe I'll even start posting my finished objects now . . . anyway, those of you who are fibery sorts, if you're on Ravelry, look me up! My account is museofastronomy.
