first spinning

Beginning a new hobby is one of the most exciting things I can think of doing. There's so much possibility and forgiveness because you're just learning. Terry and i put together my spinning wheel (Kromski Prelude) a week or so after it arrived, and a few days later I tried my first spinning. I mostly worked from memory of my brief exerience at Knit and Spin Day. Now that I've spun this roving, I'm reading more and looking at posts and videos.

This fiber should make other spinners feel really good about their first effors -- I know it's not the greatest, but I still love it. I don't know what I'll make with it yet, but it was fun.
