I’m a total n00b when it comes to spinning. I swear.
It’s funny, kind of, not knowing what to do, but just looking at pictures and videos and trying (or failing more often it feels like).
But I expected it, I know how it is to learn something. One day you pick up a drop spindle, the next you want a wheel even though you’re not able to “talk” spinning yet.
Hm… but I like it, I bought some wool, crap wool, and tried first. A miserable thing, not quite yarn at first. Then I had used that up and needed some more.
So I got some merino for cheap, and tried again. Pink and yellow merino. So the small ball of yarn in the picture is the first “yarn” I ever made.
Hideous, but I love it.
Before I finished that I got some roving via the Lime & Violet shop and has already starting converting it from it’s pristine shape and into overspunn spindle made yarn 
Cute yarn! Congratulations.
I admire your patience, I think I would get furious just trying to spin wool.
I had to laugh when I read this post. You describe exactely how I feel and what I did! Started with drop spindle, and a month later had a wheel. It’s getting better with practice! ;o)
