This is exactly what it’s like becoming a hobby machinist. Start off with a drill press, end up making all your own tools.
Yep I had the same experience with coffee. Started with a shitty nespresso machine, moved up to a manual machine, then semi automatic. Now I’m roasting my own beans. I would legit buy a coffee farm and make a living out of it, if I get the opportunity.
yep and if it’s your job all you wanna do is buy a mill and a laith but money and space :(
There is always space, I have seen guys turn their kitchen into a machine shop, lol.
i’m doing an second apprenticeship as a programmmer so i don’t have the money to even own my own kitchen :(
Beware the pipeline
Knitting: the gateway drug.

You can also branch out into gardening flax, cotton, hemp, reseda, krapp and indigo …
I may have fallen into a rabbit hole of tutorials on this very topic (growing and spinning flax). So. Many. Traps.
Ewe now own the means of production!
Nice.
I’ve been resisting the urge to get angora bunnies for almost 10 years now. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.
Lovely fluffies indeed!
Do it. I’m the devil on your shoulder today.
Goats do seem to be the natural end point on the journey that starts by learning to cast on.
If only someone would have warned me before my first stitch!
Haven’t gotten the sheep yet…
