Fricke

I've been busy this weekend spinning mostly, I don't know why... I just have been in the mood to spin, it seems to take a lot less mentally than knitting or crocheting does right now.

I reclaimed two of my Hitchhiker bobbins yesterday and skeined up the Twisted merino/tencel blend, don't mind the ugly yarn that I used to tie up the skein (it's 1970s acrylic acquired from a friend's grandmother's stash after her death... it's the most vile yarn I've ever seen... but it works well for tying up skeins and bobbin leaders).

So I've been asked why it is that I've bought a second wheel... No, there's nothing wrong with the Hitchhiker (well, except for the orifice hook falling off it's handle, but I'm sure if I just email the fellow who makes them I can have that replaced, I just haven't gotten around to it), it's a great wheel.

Yesterday, we went up to the grand opening of the Spunky Eclectic shop in Lisbon, ME. I sorta knew in the back of my head that this was going to be a spending trip... and it was... believe me it was. I got so much nifty stuff!
