Spinning to Preserve My Sanity
Found a drop spindle that escaped Leo's moving of my craft stuff into the garage and started spinning last night. Probably the only thing that saved my sanity - even if spinning on the wheel may be much faster...
I do knit with the yarn I've spun - usually after I've plied it so it's a bit sturdier. It's an interesting process and I love that it's a one-of-a-kind yarn I'm knitting with.
However I'm pretty stingy when it comes to knitting with my own yarn though - guess it's the perfectionist in me. I keep frogging everything!

Do you knit with the yarn that you have spun? It looks like an interesting process (never have attempted it). Hang in there!
