So, while I was out and about today getting some yarn for upcoming projects I also bought this:
Yes, I am going to try my hand at spinning. We'll see how this turns out. So far I have sections that resemble bailing twine and others that more closely mimic sewing thread. This should be interesting.
This last fall I went to an organic farm near Madison, WI which has sheep and goats they use for fiber. We took a day class on carding, roving and spinning. We did hand spinning first which was pretty cool. When I got to the wheel it was a disaster! Good luck and enjoy.
I'm an Interior Designer living in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. My interests and hobbies are varied and while this is mainly a knitting blog, I'll likely throw in a post or two relating to other interests.

I just recently got a spindle and some roving myself. Watch out, it's addictive!
I had a feeling this would be the case...*sigh*
