I'm spinning! I'm spinning!

Is the third time a charm? Hope so. Took my third spinning class and it seems to be sticking. I'm making yarn! Unfortunately, my spindle (purchased at the second class) is on the hefty/heavy side so I should be trying to make worsted weight yarn. It seems to go well for a short bit, and then it begins to thin o-u-t to fingerling or lace and ... Kaboom! The drop spindle earns its name.
