I am not a football person. I maybe watch the superbowl if we have to attend a social gathering for the event. Yesterday I was at said social gathering, with not much to do. The host of our lovely gathering happens to keep sheep, and had mentioned before having a drop spindle.
Trapped with nothing else to do I took her up on her offer to teach me. I sort of got the idea, but I also read this instructable and found it very helpful. I am quite excited about my new hobby (come on I've done it for a total of an hour, it counts as a hobby). I wasn't able to spin through the whole super bowl, because I accidentally started watching the game and it was very interesting (also, you know, I had to talk to people). But I am still in possession of the spindle. I am spinning my yarn too tight, but I will work on that with the next batch of fluff. It fills me with joy to try new arts and play with them. Have you tried anything new lately?

Hey Sara :) I just took up knitting but with big yarn and big needles. I haven't done it in the last couple weeks, but it's been fun learning. I wanted to learn something where I'm moving so I'm not too restless, and knitting seemed perfect.
