Drop spindle

Well, wanted to take the plunge and try some spinning. I actually found out about Spinsanity when reading a post on Knitty I can't remember who made the post and I am too lazy to go look right now, but she was a new spinner and had bought her spindle from Spinsanity so I went and checked it out. They looked very cool and I bought this one As my gaming handle for years has been Blackwidow, I thought hmmm.....I wonder if she could do a custom paint for me. I messaged her and she said she would give it a try. About a week has passed, maybe less and I just got a message from her that she put one up on her Etsy for me, but I was under no obligation to buy it. Man, when I saw that thing I couldn't pay for it fast enough. It is amazing! She did and awesome job. Here it is! The one beside it is beautiful too. The first spindle that I bought should arrive today, am excited to try spinning, but I am even more excited to get my hands on my spider spindle!

Shannon at Spinsanity was great to deal with. Once she found out I have never spun, she asked if I wanted some links to help me get started. She was kind enough to send me some links.

Edit: oh..was ms. pixieriot ....that's who said she had just bought a spindle from Spinsanity
