another hobby

A fiber colleague taught me to spin using a drop spindle, and at the end of the lesson gifted me with a bag of roving so I could practise. Perhaps she knew that left to my own devices, I'd forget everything she took the time to demonstrate. A wise woman for sure.

And so I practise. I find it soothing, to drop spin. Plus, it's almost like magic having the cloud-like bits of roving turn into something that I can wrap around a hook.
