In order to reduce some of fiber stash I've decided to purchase a spinning wheel...the hand spindle is not fast enough to crank this stuff out. I also would like to explore spinning up some yarns and selling them at the local consignment store (same place I have my jewelry).
So...which one to get? Lendrum, Schacht, or Kromski? I know they're all different but what's the best value? This will be my bday present to me. Yippee!
Birthday Gifts & RAOKs
Speaking of birthday gifts I'm 95% done with my mom's gift. I'm knitting a lovely stole from Knitty. I'll put a picture up when I'm done.
Long way overdue are thank you's to the following ladies for the wonderful RAOKs I've received the last several months...yes months and I'm now just getting around to it. I've been meaning to say hi and thank you but time flies and never have the cards in front of me when I think to do it. Except for today!
Thank you to Maryellen, Chrisse, Marina, and Tori, for your wonderful gifts!
Try them all. I have a Joy and the Schacht DT. I tried everything I could get my hands on. Many, many people love the Lendrum. Very good deal there. I just loved the way the Schacht looked. Some perfer Saxony - while other like Castle. Great present.
Ooh-- that shawl is gonna be so pretty, and your mom is going to be so happy. Congrats on your plans to get a wheel. Sounds like something you could really get lost in: zen-like!!!
Just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday! :)
Hey Carolina-
#14 confirmed who I thought you were. I think I know where #67 comes from.
Just stopping by to say HI from SF and that people remember how lucky they were to hang out with you.
I think you're wrong about #40, though.

Crazy that I found you here - and I confirmed it was you at #1.
I just wanted you to know that I am so sorry about your son. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for your family. But I am glad to hear that you are healing and seem to be doing well.
Love to you and SR.
