I have put the drop in drop spindle!

I learned to spin (badly) a month or two ago, but I had to be holding on to the spindle the whole time. I haven't touched my spinning since I made a huge mess out of an attempt to Andean Ply it (and I hadn't been spinning for a while previous to that attempt) so I figured I should give it another go. Ok, mostly I'm giving it another go because I really, really want to buy some pretty roving in pretty colors nad make pretty yarn. And this time I actually let go of the spindle and let it drop down while spinning. The spinning goes way faster that way. I'm still having trouble drafting evenly, so the yarn is thick/thin (actually it's thin/thinner) but I may be getting better. I may not be. It's hard to tell.
