Over 2 years ago I bought my first spindle. I signed up for a spinning swap and got some pretty fiber and a second spindle (one that lights up!). At Circles, I bought a batt (is that the right term) and some sock yarn from the gentleman from Dorchester Farms.
Yesterday, I called Lucy at Mind's Eye Yarns and scheduled an actual spinning lesson.
I've had a hard time convincing myself to try spinning at home. Saru-chan seems to love what is worst for her (oh my poor yarn has had some awfully rough times), so I am hesitant but I want to learn. Even if I decide I don't like doing it and sell or give away my little spinning stash, the learning will not go to waste. I don't want to be the person who says that they can't get this or do that without making a conscientious attempt to truly try something. Right now, those big areas are sewing and spinning. I have made some half-hearted efforts, but not enough to feel good about discarding these activities.
So, Saturday afternoon I'll see what I can learn. I'll bring my boring learning wool and one of my pretty swap wools and see what I've been missing all this time.
