Spinning Tuesdays: A Winner and a Wheel

Our winner of the fabulous spinner's haul is Karen in San Francisco. Congratulations Karen!

Our thanks to Storey Publishing, The Spinning Loft and , Interweave for our prizes.

 

Forgive me my fellow spinners, I did not spin this week. It was a flurry of traveling and then illness. I will be back at my wheel and finishing up Deb's Must Spins soon.

Yesterday as I sat on the couch waiting for the antibiotics to kick in, my husband brought me this:

 

A mysterious box with 12 year old for scale

I cracked that sucker open and

There may have been an earsplitting shriek or two – the dog remains under the sofa

My Sidekick! I love that Schacht puts the directions right on top, no digging needed!

Sidekick out of her box, handy 12 year old for scale.

It's Lassie sized! Knee high-ish and cute. My husband couldn't get over the mag wheel, "that's so cool!"

 

All the stuff

It comes with a carrying strap, an orifice hook and three of the new style plastic bobbins – I wish they came in rainbow colors.

 

7 year old boy treddling faster than the speed of sound

It took 10 minutes to set up using the directions, and it will take half that time once I have the steps memorized. She spins like a dream and is remarkably stable for a little wheel. I'll do a real review in the Deep Fall issue of Knittyspin after I've been spinning on her for a bit.

Until then, imagine me smiling as big as Henry up there while I spin.
