wheeeee(l)!

Remember that road trip that I mentioned on Saturday? I was picking up a wheel. A lovely Schacht Matchless DT with WooLee Winder (not shown) for a ridiculously good price. I didn't blog about it until now because I was too superstitious ...

Use your imagination to picture curtains on those windows.
I finished sewing them this weekend, but we still need to hang them.

Of course, I had to play with it last night. I got some ice cream and a Gilmore Girls DVD, spun some very poor yarn, and enjoyed myself greatly :) Now, I need to sit down with the manual and learn how to really use the wheel so I can spin some nice yarn.

On the way home from New York, where I picked up the wheel, we visited my in-laws. I did a brief demo for my mother-in-law, and she said "I want to learn to spin!" My answer ... ? "I know this woman who lives near you ..."

I just showed my boss this photo and she said "wow, you must be one of a very few people in Massachusetts with a spinning wheel!" Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Ah, wheel love.
