I'm off for an entire week from school! I'm home and watching Sunday night football with my dad and my dogs next to a really lovely fire. I could stay this way forever! Today I decided to finally teach my self to learn to spin using a drop spindle. I'm so excited! My yarn is so ugly and beautiful at the same time!I bought a drop spindle before I went away to school and about 5 oz. of roving to play with while at school. Needless to say that didn't really happen. I could never get relaxed enough to justify spending time playing with wool. But I'm home for a week and the only other things that have my attention is some scholarship applications, my dogs, bunnies, and chickies, my family and quite a bit of time will be spent in the kitchen.
After watching a few videos on youtube.com this morning, I finally got out my roving and spindle and seriously started to learn. I'm still in the "park and draft" level of skill but I will improve this week! I'm really enjoying it and can't wait to be making my own yarn start to finish!
