I can't spin?

Hmmm... my spinning doesn't look quite like the videos here. I think maybe I'll give it a try, though. ;) (My spinning involves parking the spindle. Lots. Rather slow.)

do you pre-draft? it helps separate the fibers and makes drafting easier. I park and draft when I'm sitting down and I draft otherwise when I'm standing up. :)

I do predraft, but I was spinning based on a text description, which made the process sound much more stop and go. Also, I wasn't entirely sure how to hold the roving. It makes much more sense watchig these videos.
