Oh no, oh no...
OH NO!!
It's HER fault, my downstream SP7! Because she's a spinner so I'm looking for spinner-y type stuff to spoil her with, ya know?? She's a spinner. I don't have a spindle or a spinning wheel. I don't have any roving, or raw wool, or whatever...but now, NOW I have actually touched the yummiest, softest, yummiest roving EVER. Ok, it's the only roving I've ever touched, but I think I ruined myself by choosing this particular yummy stuff to touch first. And may I say that the only reason I don't own a spindle right this very moment is: they were out. Thank the Lord who loves me and knows my limits, they were out.
However.
I did sign up for a drop-spindle class.
Gulp.
I'm history.
You see, I've been reading about other people learning to spin. I've been fascinated by the process since I found out one of my friends has spun since she was a kid. Even raised her own little sheepie, sheared it, etc. So when we were in Scotland we brought her 1/2 a fleece back. That was...umm...2004? Yeah, April 2004. And now all these blogging knitters are showing off their pretties they have spun...I'm so in trouble.
Did I mention that the roving was yummy?

Oh man - you've been sucked over to the dark side. I can't wait to see where this leads!!!
No! You can still save yourself!!!
Oh, you're hosed. Utterly. For this reason I will not touch roving.
You know what happened when I touched sock yarn, right? Now I need Trekking XXL. Claudia Handpaints. Fleece Artist Merino. Opal. Artyarns Ultramerino. Koigu.
Now imagine that happening with spinning. I'd be toast.
You're hosed, my friend.
you're doomed. surrender now while you can ;)
I share your pain Kirsten - I...must...not...buy...roving. I...must...not...buy...a...spindle - just walk away from the spindle, walk away... Arrrrggghhh!
Happy spinning gf friend!
