The topper is that my husband has finally brought one of my schemes to life and built me an electric spinner. Now the reason I even wanted one is because I don't have a lace flyer for my wheel and this way I can spin R.E.A.L.L.Y.F.A.S.T. (PUHLUS, it was all for a total of $25.) (Sorry, if you read my Rav post. i said $15, but in true John fashion, he reminded me of the $10.00 bag of hardware he bought. I feel like that doesn't count because money he paid is like free, but he disagrees)
Like a full bobbin of singles (for two ply sock yarn so pretty thin) in 65 minutes.
I'll be back with a lot of knitting and some spinning on the new wheel. Apparently i jumped the gun starting to blog without getting in the swing of doing it more like daily (or even weekly for the love of God).
School starts tomorrow which means I am already breathing a sigh of relief that we've finished getting ready and going through the first weeks of football practice. Someone made first string offensive guard (not me) and even though I would rather he do something safer like chess or something, this is really what he loves so I'm on it.
Hey! Remember when i dyed my hair red and John told me I looked like the bastard child of Bozo and Ronald McDonald? I did.

but then, it was mostly ok because he took a leftover burger, split it and stuffed it and cooked it for me again and it was amazing?

I remember that too. Life really is a trade off isn't it?
School starts tomorrow. I just needed to say it again so i could really start to believe it because I think this summer fell in a wormhole or something.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteI love the red!
I think the red looks great. I sometimes do red just to mix it up. Right now I'm white.
ReplyDeleteCould you please post a pic of the electric spinner? I'm very curious how he did that. I'm thinking I should show your pic to my husband...
