Spinning
A while ago I bought myself a drop spindle. It's a clever technology that been used for a few thousand years to make thread and yarn. I also bought myself a big bag of random wool bits from Etsy. After a large amount of spinning and pulling and plying, I now have a huge weird callous on my right index finger, and this bunch of yarn:

It's all squishy and pretty and crazy. I'm not sure what I'm going to knit with it.
Also, I went to a party last week and on the way home I saw a hedgehog on the sidewalk, just waddling along. It was so cute! I'd consider getting a hedgehog for a pet, but I don't like pets that eat meat. They tend to have stinky poop. I like my little vegetarian hamsters and vegan guinea pigs.
