...or "All the things I was going to blog about but didn't get to and then the power went out."
The highlight of my weekend was certainly Erin lending me a spinning wheel. It's the Ashford Traditional and is great fun to play with. It takes a bit more co-ordination than my hand spindles but I can spin a lot more stuff. This is especially exciting since I was thinking of asking my family to help me buy a wheel for my birthday and it is wonderful to be able to try one out before making an investment.
By the way, spinning wheels make the most incredibly relaxing whirring noise. It's lovely to listen to and even better to make.
Besides Zeke's bed I've been working on another little knitting project. This will be one of two Cabled Fingerless mitts. The yarn is Socks That Rock Heavyweight in Rose Quartz and feels so beautiful to work with. I love to see all the tiny variations in the pink. Watching the cable emerge is magic - a couple of little twists in what looks like the wrong places and you end up with a braid. I can't wait to wear these; they manage to be feminine and substantial at the same time.
