Aspinnerated
I have been! Aspinnerated, that is... By Jesh, of fine spindle-making fame... (She's out of spindles at the mo, but is working on more! They are delish!)

So, does one send congratulations or sympathy when one's friends have become aspinnerated? We may have to start a support group. Mike bought me a spinning wheel for a wedding gift! (It's still in pieces. It needs to be stained.)
Here's to more stash-enhancing, time sucking activities!
Welcome to the dark side! It took me exactly 3 months of spindling to get a wheel. I love spinning. Unfortunately, spinning leaves less time for knitting, and produces more yarn...for knitting. What a conundrum!
Congratulations--the spindle is really pretty! The two main drawbacks I've found are that I end up with even more yarn in my stash (which, fine, isn't much of a drawback but my husband does complain sometimes), and that I have a hard time singing and spinning at the same time.
Ah spinning!
I want to learn how to do it but I'm afraid of picking up another potential obsession when knitting is still new to me.
