FO and a new "tool"

I know I know, I'm such a bad blogger. I really haven't had much to blog about. I'm happily unemployed :), my last day was Friday 5/12. There's money in the bank and more coming as soon as the paperwork I just turned it gets processed, so I'm not worried about fiber aquisition for the time being.

I did finish the Caftan Pullover from the Spring 2006 issue of Interweave Knits, last Thurday, but just now finally got around to taking a pic of it.



Monday was my B-day and I got myself a present (with help from DH, Mom, Dad and my former employer :). I took a trip back up to Solvang, this time I took my car and not the other way around, but I still forgot the camera. I'm going to have to nail that thing to my hand if I'm ever going to remember it.

So what did I come home with....well no roving this time around, but I did come home with a Lendrum Folding Spinning wheel, double treadle, complete with a fast flyer, a plying flyer and bobbin, and a tensioned lazy kate with 3 additional bobbins for a total of 4 bobbins. WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!




That baby sings, she's smooth and flies great, I do believe I will be quite happy with this wheel for a long time to come. I am still spinning llama on the Louet, but after that's done we'll see if it will stay or not. Regardless I'm quite happy with both wheels, but happier with the Lendrum.
