Spinning Giddy

I haven't spun much in my life, but the little I did, I loved. I have used a drop spindle, but was too afraid to try a spinning wheel. I guess I thought it would go too quickly for me or something. Anyway, when I became disabled, and sitting up for too long became harmful if done on a regular basis, I put thoughts of spinning aside, but never got rid of my drop spindle.
Now, through someone I met on Ravelry, I have learned that spinning while reclining is possible! A little slower, but doable. Still, I put off trying, as the only roving I have is too matted to use for yarn. After winning Rockpool Candy's contest, she sent me some wonderfully gorgeous handspun yarn, vibrant with energy. I will share photos of my lovely yarn another time, as I am not up to setting up a photo shoot today, and the yarn deserves my best efforts. As I played and petted my new yarn that old longing to spin came back stronger than ever. And I happened to know Rockpool Candy was having a major sale on her roving this month... so I flat-out indulged myself and bought two batts. When they arrive, I will practice spinning again. If I do well, and space allows and money allows, I may try a spinning wheel next. I love a new challenge!
