I went on a spinning workshop today at GK run by Jeni from Fyberspates. It was lovely, and I met up with Katt 94 which was nice.

I think I get on as well with spinning as I do with crochet Rolling Eyes

Jeni was really patient actually as I just couldn't get the hang of "dropping" at all Confused

Then a lovely fellow workshop attendee let me play with her Golding Spindle which was LOVELY - funnily enough I didn't want to give it back. I could have practiced being not very good for hours with that Wink

I have photos, but as it's late I'll add some tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be putting any spinners out of business in the near future Wink

sounds fun. Very Happy

I have a golding spindle - it's by far the easiest out of mine to spin with, so it's worth investing in good gear. Twisted Evil

I have a bosworth mini too which is lovely. Laughing

It certainly sounds like an interesting day.
I didn't like drop-spindling until I got a spindle that suited me, but now I have two that I enjoy working with. They were made by this man.
