Spinning out of control?

I'm getting sucked in further and further...but I think I like it.

I've been reading up on spinning, yup that's right, spinning. As I can't afford a spinning wheel I've been looking at drop spindles, dear god how did I miss this? It looks fantastic and I think is going to become a new passion.

I've been looking at an Ashford drop spindle that comes with 100g of merino roving to get you started, my mind is awash with all the things I could do.

I could make beautiful yarn, I could dye said beautiful yarn into beautiful steins that I could then stroke/admire or even gosh darn it, knit with.

My mind is buzzing with ideas and imagination, is this something I really want to plunge myself head first into, damn right it is and I'm going to have a blast doing it as well.

I checked out a couple of videos on Youtube as to how to do it and I'm sure they make it look easier than it really is but I'm all geared up and raring to give it a go. Just now have to wait till payday when I can buy a spindle and give it a go.

My stash is going to grow and my bank balance is going to be hit (hard) but it'll all be worth it when I'm wearing my first hat/scarf/gloves made from my very own spun and dyed yarn.
