Spinning Addiction
My husband got me a spindle and some roving for my birthday. As if I weren’t already addicted enough to knitting!
I spun a little white roving my secret pal sent. Any guesses as to why it’s not in any pictures? Yep, I made a mess of it. Toward the end I was getting a pretty consistent twist, but the singles are way, way too big! I definitely need more practice.
Here’s the roving he bought me. Aren’t they pretty?

Oh the rovings are so lovely. I have been contemplating and longing to learn to spin but haven’t managed to do it. I’ll tell you a little secret: I have never even seen a spindle in person. A shame, I know! I don’t know anyone who spins and I am so afraid to order a spindle and roving and then not know what to do with it. (It is bad enough when I need knitting help and don’t have any one here hands on to look over my shoulder. I’m afraid I would make myself a little crazy if I tried to spin.)
