Jonesing for fiber

Ok, I am still far from home and my fiber stash. Does it mean funny things about me when I am scouting the local stores for Play Doh for clay that will harden for whorls for a spindle? I actually thought about saving the aspirin bottle cotton this week to try out the new spindles. I was in an antique store this week and happened to ask if they had any yarm. The lady suggested Wally World. I told her their yarn wasn't really what I was looking for. I was a hand spinner. She then took me into the back of the store room. She showed me a sad but still very salvagable spinning wheel. She didn't know how it worked so I went into instruct mode. Anyway, one thing led to another and now they want me to come give a spinning lesson for the local knitting group. So, of course I agreed to this. I need a fiber fix. I ordered a bit from Shep Shed Studios. I can't wait to get it. I NEED FIBER...
