Twiddly Fingers

I'm plagued with Twiddly Finger Syndrome. :) My mother had it, my dad had it for a while, most of my cousins have it. Little known outside my family, TFS is a disorder characterized by an incessant need to constantly do something -- ANYTHING -- with your fingers. Sometimes this takes the form of smoking, sometimes eating, in other cases nail-biting. Having learned to channel this compulsion, I now put hooks and needles in my fingers and make things most of my family members don't need or want.

Spin spin spin!

This isn't a knitting entry, but I just decided I absolutely HAVE to learn to spin!

I went to the spin-in at Borders yesterday, and met some new ladies, and some I'd met at the last kint-in, and Chris showed me how to use a drop spindle, and I'm FASCINATED! I could watch them spin on their spinning wheels all day long.

I want a spinning wheel! Wah! But they're expensive. Mayhaps I'll start with the drop spindle...
