So, you remember my nerdy dream to someday take it clear from wool to afghan? Well, today I had to run by the Haus of Yarn to pick up one more skein to finish my kool-aid afghan and I saw by the door a sign that said something like “Spinning classes start soon” and I asked for information and I’ll be damned if they aren’t going to have drop spindle classes starting at the end of the month. And I am going to take one and it will be so damn awesome I cannot even stand it.

That is sooooo cool. Be sure to invest in a whole bunch of different sorts of bobbins, so that centuries from now, when archaeologists excavate your house, they will be confused about what period you lived in.
I can see that I am going to have to add to my list of things I’m envious about for no reason whatsoever. I lust after beautiful guitars although I know only one chord and have never bothered to learn more; now I’m going to wish I could spin, although I neither knit nor crochet and have too much joint pain to use a drop spindle effectively.
Ha. I’m totally making that part of my list of life goals–confuse future archaeologists. That seems like a valuable goal.
