stop the rain!

it's been so dreary here, i know "April showers bring May flowers" but i am so over it!


i did get my order for the The Loopy Ewe yesterday :) it had a nice surprise ~ sock pattern and stitch marker ~ i had to check my invoice! (cause i knew i'd only gotten yarn & fiber)


my quest for a spinning wheel continues ~ husbeast (ha!) thinks i might be too picky......but i want one that is ornate ~ the newer ones just look like flat pieces of shiny wood slapped together...i'm sure they work fine.....but i want PRETTY~ and functional! and for some of the prices i think i should get the pretty. did find a site that sells plans for one --- that way i could pick the pieces and make it pretty...............hey, he built the plane from scratch, guess i can do a spinning wheel (but he won't be able to stop himself from reading the plans and commenting or offering advice so i say why doesn't he just do it for me!)





meanwhile, have been reading more on spindle spinning ~ my first attempts were mediocre ~the dvd went step by step and is ok but................
