Okay so that's a little well melodramatic but I always enjoyed that line.
Take for example my newest obsession /er hobby, oh admit it obsession. As if having multiple works in progress wasn't bad enough. I went to a knit in at the Sand Lake Barnes & Noble here in Orlando and after sitting and sipping a caramel macchiato and kniting and admiring the socks that Janette and Dale and I were working on.
Janette pulled out this zippered bag with this lovely soft yellow substance and a shawl she had knit with ,she said "here touch its roving", I was curious so like Princess Aurora I reached out and touched these lovely fibers and quickly fell under their spell, she gave me a small lesson on what roving is she then pulled out her greeensleeves spindle, I should have run as fast as I could for I was quickly being drawn into a new obsession, Spindle Spinning!!!
Any way she gave me some of this beautiful varigated fiber that she had brought with her, then she suggested I look up how to make a CD spindles, and recommended the I can spin website to get started.
Putting the CD spindle together was easy enough, I put it together that same evening can you say obsessive? However, getting it to spin like the video on I can spin well not so easy, The next thing you know I've gotten library books and I've ordered a wooden spindle from Grafton fibers and am busily looking and dreaming about fibers and spindles and
The various wood used on spindles are so absolutely beautiful, well I could collect them just for there intrinsic beauty alone. And the fibers oh so beautiful. I hereby put a challenge to myself to actually spin enough to knit the beginners triangle shawl from the book "A Gathering of Lace" gathered by Meg Swanson.
Well enough for now, babysitting the grand babes and they have colds poor dears and they need me bbl
