When I went to University, this was actually a project they made us do for our finial! It was completely UNLIKE any of the other classes or assignments there that we werent sure what to think at first. We had to make our own drop spindels… she gave us a stick, a paperclip, two cd’s and a bag of wool. We could use anything else we wanted. And after we spun it, we had to weave it. It was kinda cool, and gave me something to do that let me watch tv too. :D
