"The threads woven into the fabric of our lives are beginning to create a beautiful tapestry."
I bought myself a drop spindle for my birthday. I can't really say why, apart from having just re-read (okay, listened to via Audible) The Mists of Avalon and becoming enchanted by Morgaine's repeated complaint that spinning wool always brought the annoying side effect of trance for her.
Well, that and knowing I could conceivably find a use for all of this damned corgi hair. ;-)
It hasn't taken long to become a minor obsession. Doubtless I will feel differently after spinning enough thread to make a humble pair of socks--I'm still only partway through my first ounce of roving.
Also, "Eventide" got a Mod's Choice in Elfwood today...wonder if anyone still visits the site.
