good-natured ribbing

in which various knitters engage in ribbing

A new toy for me!

When I got home from work today, Nick and Ava took me outside to get my present. What could it be? I was very surprised to see that it was a spinning wheel!

my new wheel

This one came from my mother-in-law. I didn’t get much information about it from Nick other than it hasn’t been used in a while. You’d never know it – it works pretty well! It took a bit of getting used to compared to my other one. The wheel is much smaller so it requires a lot more foot action. The photo shoot had some very funny moments. I should also add that this one is small enought to be portable. If anyone is interested in a demo or even trying their hand (foot) at spinning, I could bring it in for knitting lunch one day.

Then Ava obliged by taking an action shot for me:

It is a little out of focus but the composition is pretty good.
