Whoops.

I may have “accidentally” bought a spinning wheel. Oops.

We went out to Detta’s Spindle today, the last day of her annual sale. I only planned to get some fiber, maybe a book or magazine, maybe some yarn. I got the fiber - a bag of her Woofspun fiber (dog hair blended with wool and a couple other things), a bag of alpaca/corriedale (I think) in a colorway called “Lima Bean”, and a bag of mill end wool (from Brown Sheep) that Kerry so kindly enabled me into buying. From there, I decided that maybe it’d be fun to try out some of the wheels, since I’d been thinking about making a change for awhile. I briefly tried a Kromski Minstrel, which was nice but not really *it*. Then the Majacraft Suzie, which was lurvely. I also tried the Rose, which was nice but didn’t work as well for me as the Suzie. Negotiated a little with DH, promised him that I’d sell my Louet S90, and the Suzie came home with us. It’s waiting until the grabby-handed ones are in bed, then I’m going to get it out and have at it. I’ve got to go back out to Detta’s (oh, the torture) to collect the rest of the bobbins and pay, later this week. She’s going to buy the Louet from me (less work for me, yay!) and we decided it’d be better to just take care of the whole transaction at once. Detta is simply awesome!

Hmm… where’s the pizza delivery guy?

    I’m so glad that bag of mill ends is the only thing you’re holding me responsible for!!

    Kerry is a very helpful enabler but I am thankfully immune to her strong fibery yarny and gadgety chi.

    Detta is such a GOOD person.

    Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
