I spun! I've been sitting here thinking like mad about what I could *possibly* do that was new for the week, because time is slipping away and I really want to start on the right foot (not, you know, 'I'll do it next week!'). And I'm drawing a blank. Even as I post about spinning for the first time at a party I went to last night. Nope, nothing new... *headdesk*
So, like I said, I went to a gathering yesterday and was taught how to use a drop spindle. It's as hard as I thought it would be (physically and talent-wise) but not impossible. I'll probably try it again some time, but for now...
