Look what the post just brought me! This is from jesh.etsy.com, so pretty! This was a custom order and jesh was great, the spindle even arrived here from the US in two days!

It's top whorl, and I strongly prefer bottom whorls, but I decided that I'd learn to spin both ways. Though I already tried it as a bottom whorl and it spun just fine that way, too - on some ravelry thread I found out that the hook wasn't necessary at all to spinning and after trying spinning by just tying a knot on the shaft, I can say that it works just as well.

Yay, now I can have two projects going at once:)
