Now what do I do???

This is the question I was left with after all my purchases of the last few weeks arrived. The first thing to arrive were the drop spindles, which I purchased off of eBay.






These were rendered useless due to the roving not arriving. So they sat in a drawer unused and screaming for attention.


The second thing to arrive was the sewing machine I told you all about in the previous post. So of course I now need to know how to use it, lol. Hence this....


Finally the roving arrived. I bought this on Etsy. Its rather fluffy and foreboding all at the same time. I think the puff is laughing at me and mocking me at my venture. It may win, or I may twist the shit out of it and make it conform to my every whim...muahahahaha

UPDATE: I tried to spin a little and have no idea if I am doing it right. It looks okay right now but seriously does that ever really mean anything? If anyone out there is a spinner. Tips, tricks, well detailed instruction would be most welcome. This is what it looks like so far
