Setting the twist...

Ok, I know this is going to sound funny, but since Jennifer thought me to use the drop spindle back at the end of September, I've been sooooo itching to set the twist and get started on spinning some more. Well, you know how it can sometimes go. So much to do in so little time. Well, that itch finally became intolerable and I finally contacted her to remind me how to do this. Here it is stretching and drying...hooray!! It feels so exhilirating and I still have yet to use it. I don't know what it is about this, but it's really an indescribeable feeling to have this yarn that you've spun all by yourself!! I really can't remember myself, but I'm going to probably compare it to when my little guy does something for himself and he turns and looks at me and says, "Mama, I did it aaaaallllll by myself!", with such a sweet grin on his face. I think it's the sound in his voice and that grin that I'm so relating to-lol! I found the spool for only $1 or $2 bucks last month and thought I'd wrap the yarn around it just for show, now that it's dry. So here it is...

...my very first handspun yarn and as Tyler would say, "I did it aaallll by myself" -lol

Seriously though, it really does make me happy :D
