I went to Amy'swith my friend, Sharon, today and look what followed me home:
Nope, she's not mine to keep; I'm renting her for a few weeks to check her out. I have to tell you though, I think I'm in love! She spins like a dream, is small and very portable, fits perfectly in my backseat, and is cute as a button! What's not to love?
I thought I'd try the clown puke fiberon her, but I've decided that I really just don't like that fiber. It's okay when I spin it on the spindle, but I tried it on Alice and then on the Ladybug and I'm just not enjoying it. It's not the colors (bright as they are); I think it's just the fiber; it just doesn't seem to like being spun on a wheel (or maybe it just doesn't like me).
Anyway, I took that off the bobbin and decided to try some BFL that I bought from Amy at SPA. What do you think?
Pretty, yes? It's the Cheeky Monkeycolorway.
A new spindle and a little more fiber also followed me home, but I forgot to take pictures of those (yeah, I'm brain-dead). I'll show you those tomorrow, along with a couple of special packages that came in the mail over the weekend.
Have a great night!
That is the cutest wheel! I'm jealous you went to Amy's again ;-(

That is the cutest wheel. The Cheeky Monkey is lovely. I suspect that wheel may stay longer:)

Oooooh! I tried this wheel at fiber frolic and liked it pretty well. The other I liked was Louet's new one, forget what it is called now, but it was much like this one, scotch tension and all.

Uh oh, I hope Alice doesn't get jealous!

The drive wheel reminds me of a firetruck!

aarrruuugghghhh!!!! you stink. I'm so jealous. I tried one out at MDS&W and LOVE it. If the Mayor didn't loose his glasses and the poop line payment coming up and the dryer break, I'd totally be getting one now!

Congratulations! I hope that you'll be able to do even more spinning now that you've got a new toy to practice on.

Love it! I have the Matchless and I love the Schacht quality. Have fun test-driving! (Do you have Manise's old wheel, or did she loan you one at one point, or was that someone else?)

Very pretty new wheel!!
Posted by: Amy | Jul 29, 2008 at 06:46 PM
She is a very cute wheel. No wonder you took her home. That Sharon is an enabler. I taught her everything she know about enabling.

That wheel *is* adorable and the fiber you spun on it is wonderful!
