I have heard such great things about spinning…and I know oh too well the voices of rationalization! :)

That happened to me too. I always wanted to try spinning but just couldn’t imagine fitting in the time… so I didn’t even try it as I was afraid I’d be smitten. I succumbed this past spring and tried spinning with a friend’s spindle. I then bought my own and haven’t stopped. Have fun!

Though I understand your guilt at trying to make time for yet another hobby, it’s a conflict that wages in my own head quite often, I say go with it! If spinning is speaking so strongly to you, I think it means you’re meant to explore it. Have fun, and post pics. =)

My dogwoods are in bloom also, I had just thought that I needed to take a pic of them.
I have a dropspindle kit (somewhere) and have not touched it (for years). You make this look easy.

LOL I know that mantra.. no more hobbies.. NO MORE HOBBIES! ; ) Spinning seems to be grabbing many a woman by the arm though, so don’t feel bad :D

Oh BTW, once you can drop spindle, spinning on a wheel will be a breeze for ya.

Hoorah, how exciting! That’s kind of what happened to me. I tried one summer on a wheel and then gave up. Now of course you have to go buy a wheel! Spinning during baseball games works very well. There are several good spinning lists in Yahoo Groups to help you too. The archives will be goldmines of info for questions you will have as you continue your journey.
